Hold Person - Creature Type -- official stance?

[Shar Tahl]

In the description of hold person, it states if effect 1 humanoid creature. Would this include Monstrous Humanoids as well? Would this work on a harpy?

Nope just Humanoids of the various subtypes. Not the Monstrous kind.

Nope. Hold person only affects humanoids.
