    I got some more ideas about Harpys: I mean the Real "Harpy Eagles". When you Sneak towards them thy just look. You have to feed meat just to undo the hostileness. After that you have to throw an weakness posion and feed an OP Apple. (like healing Zombievillagers)
    Then they are tamed. They cant follow you just sit on your shoulders or on the Ground. You can ride (fly) them for a time (10min + -) and then they have to land. After this the Harpy sits on your shoulders or on the Ground and has to rest for 10min.
    Informations:
    Max. Health, Speed and Max., Flight altitude differs just like horse stats
    They are 1,2-1,5 blocks high, hostile before tamed
    and when they sit on your shoulders you get slowness. (Same Animation like when Babyzombies sit on Zombies) Riding (Flying) the Harpy: Sit on the Slope of the back of the Harpy. (May saddle nedded) The waiting Phase can be boosted by feeding 10+ Meat (Pig, Cow, Rotted, Sheep, Bunny) by 80% but not more. The Harpy cant move while the waiting Phase, just be carried. Biomes for spawnig could be Jungle, Savanna or Deasert.
    For balancing a saddle could be needed, or a Chest can be added just like to Lamas or Donkeys.
    I got this idea by People wanting "Pet Dragons", i think becouse People want a rideable flying creature. So I worked out this one, becouse I think Harpys fits better into Minecraft then Pet Dragons.

    Good idea but I think they should spawn everywhere

    Mojang stated they are against hostile creatures that are non-fantasy mobs. Besides, the idea of riding them is animal cruelty, as Mojang would deem it. I want Eagles, but I want them to have multiple variants (more than one type). I’m also totally against riding them. Then there’d be no need for the elytra.
