Oh I sense tragic story potential from the pov of a harpy raised by humans that suddenly has their life turned upside-down due to randomly turning into a king...
Also if they can turn into kings from seeing their falconers as a tiercel then is keeping tiercels an instinct for them?
keeping tiercels is an interpretation of innate instincts - that is, in 'wild' flocks, this is the social structure they use to satisfy that instinct, but tiercels in and of themselves are a social construct.
by 'seeing their falconers as tiercels', what i meant was more like, the would-be king harpy increasingly sees their falconers as subjects to possess, and might bar them from participating in any dangerous activities because after all that's what a king is for. a wild harpy would see this and go ah right, this king thinks the human is their tiercel. but among humans and harpies with no context, they wouldn't have the language or concepts to describe what's going on. if that makes sense at all
there is a lot of tragic potential there yeah... they are imprinted on those humans and could barely imagine life without them. they would be barred from their flock, their family, because they would be seen as a bad influence on them, before eventually simply disappearing from their old life (dead or just sent away - the result is the same to those left behind)

Monsters In L'Manberg AU
Modern DSMP AU where L'Manberg College is just filled with monsters and the one person the normal students actually think is cryptid actually turns out to be the only human in the giant monster friend group.
It would be absolutely hilarious if Wilbur was still Phil's bio son but instead of being some sort of immortal like his dad, he just turned out to be a normal human and Phil didn't even question it. Yes, Wil is the token human in this au. Fight me.
Speaking of Phil, he's an archangel and chosen warrior of the Goddess of Death. Only he knows the name of the Goddess of Death and because of this he is sworn to secrecy, and his wings being black is to visually show this binding promise.
Keeping with the SBI, Techno used to be a pig. Just a normal pig. But then he touched this cursed crown that captures the soul of anyone who wears it and now he's a shape shifter that usually just stays at least partially pig-like. He also hears the screaming voices of the old wearers of the crown but he can usually just tune them out. Phil took him in when he first got the crown, so that's nice.
And we can't forget Tommy, our good friend. You think I'll make him a Tenuki or a Harpy of sorts, don't you? Wrong! He's a fairy. You may be thinking that's not Tommy fairy's are nice. Listen! In old mythos and folklore, fairy's are malicious creatures that only sometimes befriend humans. Go look it up, it's cool and kinda creepy sometimes. But Tommy is a fairy just hiding in plain sight and just posing as a transfer student staying with Phil.
Of course, we can't have Tommy without Tubbo. You'd think I'd make Tubbo a sayter of some kind. And you're wrong. He's a witch, and Ranboo acts as his familiar even though he's not an animal. Tubbo is also part demon, because witches used to be associated with the devil. So he's either half-succubus or half-imp, because I think both are funny. Either way, Tubbo is a powerful witch, more powerful than he should be at his age.
Ranboo, the familiar, is the same as he usually is. He's half-Enderman half-... something. Yeah, he was kinda created one day and no one has been able to figure out what his light half is, including Ranboo himself. Whoever made him left him basically half finished and that's why he has memory issues.
Michael is Tubbo's accidentally creation that he and Ranboo just got super attached to within five seconds of seeing him. They're very protective of their son.
Fundy is a kitsune, I'm not thinking too hard about this. He's fairly young for a fox spirit so he only has one tail but he's very good at hiding his fox features while in human form. Wilbur has adopted him like an extrovert adopts an introvert, except it's another extrovert.
Eret is the new Vampire King at much too young and is extremely stressed, even if they always look like they know what they're doing.
Dream is not a shape-shifter, he's a demon, and he will attack the next person that accuses him of lying. It's not his fault that one of his powers is the ability to change his appearance into any living creature in the world. He's just very annoyed whenever he's not acting like a confident prick that knows how powerful he is.
George is a baku, a being said to devour nightmares. There's a reason he's always around Dream, but no one in the monster clan can decide what theory is the most likely one. Half of them think Dream causes nightmares and the others think Dream just has really bad dreams. Tubbo is the only one that thinks something different and everyone refuses to believe it. Also, George has a lucky Mushroom pin that he inexplicably gives to others after someone has had really bad dreams and that person somehow has good dreams again. They usually only have the pin over night.
Sapnap was born in fire, and he's not exaggerating. He's a pheonix that just really likes his human form and gets air sickness when he flies. He no longer does paid rides for his friends.
Quackity is a Tenuki. Fight me! Quackity is a power hungry buisness man just trying to get his degree so he can start his buisness in peace. He just wants a stable life where he can do what he wants when he wants. Is that so much to ask?
Karl is a djinn. I'm gonna say that they're timeless beings and don't actually experience time, at least not like most do. So Karl will just be vibing and them burst into laughter because he just granted a king with a mound of dirt, but it was apparently five hundred years ago. Just genie/djinn Karl, please.
BBH is also a demon, but just a normal demon that makes contracts and can teleport. However, he's still BBH, so he's the exact opposite of what you expect a demon to be, personality wise at least.
Skeppy is a carbunclo, probably. I don't know much about them but he's a humanoid variant now. He gets very offended when he hears about "healing crystals" because he actually has magical crystals and the store ones are a joke.
If you can't tell, I like monsters and mythological creatures. I just really like the idea of Wilbur being friends with a bunch of monsters, more than I've named, and either not caring or being totally oblivious. Also, the rest of the student body that aren't monsters are just other minecraft YouTubers and streamers just theorizing what Wilbur actually is while the actual monster kids are just walking around, only kinda trying to fit in with the other humans.

Has more than once used the Engorgement charm on bugs, just to get a better look at them. Patronus is a bumblebee.
Hope: Ravenclaw, pureblood. Made friends with the boy that shrunk himself, just to figure out how he did it. He somehow managed to rub off on her, and in her later years she is a lot more snarky and joking. She regrets it everyday, but it’s too late because that boy is now her boyfriend and she will protect him until the very end. Is often in the glasshouses studying rare insects. Ravenclaw prefect. Patronus is a wasp.
I decided to stop here, because I literally could have kept going for ages, but I didn’t want to do that. Maybe I will make a part two involving the Guardians and a couple of other faces, I can do whatever I want.
