Barbed harpoon



A harpoon is a long spear-like instrument used in fishing to catch fish or large marine mammals such as whales. It accomplishes this task by impaling the target animal, allowing the fishermen to use a rope or chain attached to the butt of the projectile to catch the animal. The head is either barbed or is a toggle, to prevent the prey from escaping after being impaled. A harpoon can also be used as a weapon.

Tyranno Fin harpoons on Nilfeheim also use an explosive component on the head.
