Ghis emblem

The harpy is a legendary female monster which has a woman's torso, the wings of a bat instead of arms, the legs of an eagle, and a scorpion's curled and venomous tail.

The harpy of Ghis

The harpy is the symbol of the Old Ghiscari Empire and is as synonymous with the Ghiscari as the dragon is with the Valyrians. In the claws of the Ghiscari harpy rests a thunderbolt. [1]
