The Harpie's Brother Archetype is a counterpart Archetype to the Harpies. The Archetype supports the "lone Harpie" monster, "," by giving it the same capabilities as his female counterpart, "." However, as does Harpie Lady, the support cards for Harpie's Brother suffer the same shortcomings, such as the 3 card limit of Harpie's Brother, as most of the support monsters are always treated as Harpie's Brother. Despite this, due to their naturally higher 1800 ATK stat, they are much more playable in Beatdown strategies, as well as being able to bulk themselves up with Spells and Traps. Other new cards involve having both Harpie Lady and Harpie's Brother on the field to use their effects. As they are not siblings (due to Harpie's Brother originally being called "Birdman"), these cards depict a confusing relationship between the two genders of Harpies: some show them as being bitter rivals/enemies ("Harpie's Rivalry") while others show them as allies ("Airborne Back-to-Back"). The two younger Harpies and the two lead Harpies are always shown as allies, based on their support cards.
