There are like two or three instances in Events out there were male Asura get molested by randy Harpies.

Must be some designer’s little fetish or something, eh?

What are you talking about?

Are you sure you were playing GW2 and not some other +18 game?

Nice clichéd comment there, Leo.

Go to the Iron Marshes’ harpy roost area (the broken wall area) and if you’re lucky you will find an active event where an Asura is testing some sort of perfume/pheromones. Let’s just say it ends up being a bit too successful!

In some fantasy worlds, harpies need to mate with males of other races to fertilize their eggs. In Xanth, harpies are foul and disgusting so the mating often isn’t “agreed upon”.

That’s interesting, because it seems to be the case here in GW lore as well. I haven’t seen a male harpy anywhere and I’ve seen a few references to how harpies and grawl apparently form romantic bonds quite often.

But yeah, for everyone else’s reference, during that event, the male asura(s, because there’s another one there and they’re brothers) are enamored with how harpies smell and aim to make a perfume out of their pheromones. Like, one of those pheromone perfumes you wear that supposedly attract women. Except it backfires because once they test the prototype, they find that it only effects/attracts harpies. And supposedly the fantasy cliche of harpies being absolutely foul runs true for GW2, because the asura leading the event mourns the fact that the perfume won’t sell because, in his own words, they would have to be “incredibly desperate or lonely”.

I like how after he gets dropped off by his Harpy lover(s), he shamefully limps back to and hides inside the tent at his little camp.

Finally explored that area today and I found that event hilarious. Also Asura have a more acute sense of smell compared to humans so perhaps they, or at least those two brothers, do think harpies smell good.

As a side note my little Asura sniffing the air is adorable.

There’s a little bit of knowledge I gleaned from the lore forums about harpies, it’s thought they just mate with any male they can get. Since there are no male harpies, that we see at least, they are either locked up/killed, or don’t exist. Also, Asura tend to be very inventive and probably keep trying to make weird things that attract the local harpies.
So mainly just coincidence, i’ve only ever seen that one in Iron Marches with the pheromones

Just did an event in Fireheart Rise where it was a Grawl that got “loved” by a bunch of Harpies, too.

Are you sure you guys aren’t thinking of Blazeridge Steppes? Wark is the pheromones asura who talks about “who would want to buy something that gives you harpies?”
