Harpy

Harpies were monstrous creatures, half woman and half bird, with claws on their hands and feet, who loved to torment humans. They were also called stormbirds because they dove out of the sky like lightning bolts and robbed everything with them like a storm blow. The remains were defiled with their feces.

Zeus, the supreme god, called them his hounds. He sometimes sent them to humans he wanted to punish for their disobedience
