Indeed. From a writing standpoint, the heroes' victory would be more meaningful if they pulled it off in spite of competent opposition (which I suspect may well crop up later). For a pair of villainous examples:

Spoiler for How capable are harpies with their wings/arms:
That said the Harpies actually trade lot with Lindworm that has high lot of demand for meat they hunt, so it's not out of question they hired some craftsmen to upgrade their village at some point.

What did make me go "da Heck?" though, was the bridle and Harness. I also doubt Tisalia would be particularly happy about the proposed arrangement . How do they even expect that to work... I mean Saphentite has to be heavy too, but horses can weigh an average of 300-1000 Kg, according to google...And I doubt that their hands and necks are really what is taking up the majority of that weight. I mean, Saphentite is heavy probably heavy too, but those three are in an entirely different league . That aside, I got no idea what Lorna's and Kay's idea of escorting actually is, as one of them should have walked up front. We got a few good shots of Saph's teeth too, showing that she does indeed have poison fangs, so the whole poison thing is really not that surprising. In the end, the other doctors ban on a relationship between them might actually have to do with Lamias being lethal. --- So, the Harpy is embarrassed to be seen without feathers? Uhm... Maybe seeing a doctor would be... You know... the better idea there?

I can't view Centaur in the same way anymore
although I'm more curious about Illy, having this "filler" episode is not that bad also poor flightless harpy though.. she got kidnapped, forced to lay egg which got stuck on her belly, and she lost her ability to fly.. ouch |

Episode 6 is up. Seems this show is exploring all kinds of the most classic monster tropes. Now, there's even harpy and she's lucky a knowledgable doctor like Glenn is in town.
One other thing I find kinda interesting about the show is the biology of the creatures, for instance..harpy's ability to molt.

Illy's multicolored feather is really pretty.. although her personality is so immature
Glenn is having hard time in understanding how to treat women carefully.. lol.. taking a young mermaid's first kiss and then helping a young phoenix to lay egg Glenn is trusting his hand more than mercury temperature?? what kind of doctor is this? |

Mecury thermometers being less accurate than his hands... OK...
I mean we've used them for centuries in a more advanced world... But OK... I think this is the first time we see Skadi's hand btw... But... Does she even have wings or is she a Lindworm or a Chinese Dragon? Also she really needs a claw trim What I really wonder about is why he said that she will keep getting reborn with beautiful feathers, and I hope he didn't mean literally reborn. Otherwise, she is a bit too happy considering the spontaneous combustion in her future.

Skadi is Fire Dragon. Let's keep at that for now Illy is explicitly not mystical in any way on her own, so of course Glenn was bit poethic when he was talking about rebirth. It's possible her Phoenix heritage might became relevant later , but even I don't know whether that's case.

Him being able to measure heat with his hands would also rerquire him to know his own temperature first, which isn't constant in humans at all. A... Blue firedragon?

Accuracy should depend on quality of glass tube and purity of mercury. Either could be issue in universe. Also Temperatue of healthhy individual have minimal changes (about 1 degree Celsius). using hand or foreheads to check other people temperature is pretty common and to be able get some accuratge guesses should be just matter of experience as extension.

Hands as a way to measure temperature isn't just a Classical thing.
