One that comes readily to mind from fiction would be Victor 'Renard' Zokas from The World Is Not Enough.

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:
  • Tai Lung's escape from prison in Kung Fu Panda: that facility was well-run, with a sequence of logical contingency plans and competent guards;
  • Mitth'raw'nuruodo, as seen in his original incarnation ('Heir to the Empire', 'Dark Force Rising', and 'The Last Command').

Great, now we have centaur-BDSM & centaur 3-some.....

Is this anime just a collection of fetishes mixed with monster girls?

So did the Harpies make these human-civilization buildings with their wings and claws?
Or is the Harpy civilization dependent on other races in order to have places to live?

Well learned a lot about centaurs and didnt think that only 4 harpies could care a centaur while flying

And wondering if Glenn just normally carries that stuff with him

Yes, they most likely build it on their own. According to novel they are surprisingly dexterous. In matter of fact Harpy village were there long before Lindworm.

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.

I wasn't even surprised that he would limit there sight, given how they do it for carriages to keep the horses calm in traffic.
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?

Thermometers they have might be better then nothing, but still pretty bad.

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.

It's basically just an excuse to portray armpit fetish in this episode. Y'all know the rules at this point: they must insert at least one fetish for each named-girl check-up.

By centuries you mean since 1714 and while MMnO world is quite ahead in some aspects its still effectively in middle ages, which few centuries precede that. Of course noone can denny real reason is indeed to get armpit fetish in. Doesn't mean there is problem with in-universe explanation.

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.

There is a problem with the in-universe one because it's not true at all. Mercury thermometers are plenty accurate. Must people are just scared to take them into their mouths and use their armpits instead. Also, resetting them is a bit of a hassle. My Grandmother can't reset hers anymore for years now.

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.

Quote:
Avicenna (980–1037) said that fever was the increased temperature of the heart (Canon I, part 4), so he checked the temperature by touching the chest over the heart with the hand.

This system was used during the Middle Ages and the Reinassance in Europe. It also helped to check the pulse.

Avicenna based his works on Galen and Hippocrates, perhaps they checked the temperature this way, too.
