Well this would bring up a bunch of problems. After using the harpy to get your opponent's 12|16 otyugh, he can just use the harpy in his next turn to get it back, right?

Your opponent would have to have  quanta.  Or alternately you can lobotomize the Harpy, or use your newly acquired Otyugh to eat it.

Alright so the newly acquired creature can use it's skill right away? That's pretty cool hehe

That is what I had in mind.  Though, Twin Universe does not work that way.  So I don't know if this could be coded correctly in the game...

If not, I guess it could have the delay and still work OK.

EDIT:
Hmm... on second thought if you used it on your own creature I guess that would be OP.  I wonder what the rest of the community thinks?

Yea but then it would also have to be coded that the harpy can't use its skill in the turn after it has been switched. Stick it in a time bubble?

That harpy puts the "ug" in UGLY... 

I'm not sure the skill name is very fitting. Snatch usually means something like steal or kidnap, but this is more like a swap or trade.

I was brainstorming an idea of a "body snatching (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049366/)" creature--something that would take the place of another.  But, I didn't want to make it horror themed, because that would be out of place in Elements.
That is when I came upon the Harpy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpy), which wikipedia says "the literal meaning of the word seems to be 'that which snatches'".

Though, understandably this might confuse some people.  Another possibility is Transpose...?
