@thedimpause Half woman, half bird? Magnus is to my knowledge only a mans name, at least historically. 🤔

@odd Magnus is certainly a man - just seems the author thought he looked (and possibly behaved!) like the Harpie in the image.

@thedimpause Anytime someone calls somebody a “shrieking harpy” I crack up. I don’t know why, but I just double over laughing every single time.
