==Notes==
* Despite the description, the skill can be used without being [[Underwater adventuring|underwater]].
* Trying to use this skill while not wielding a weapon gives the message: 
:''You can't use that skill without having a weapon equipped.''
* Can be used with ranged weapons.
* The Weapon Power of [[Double-Fisted Skull Smashing|your off-hand weapon]] does not affect damage done.
* During fights with [[:Category:Group_Monsters|multiple opponents]] the text is modified:
:: ''Two opponents:''
:You hastily bend your <weapon> into a harpoon, and hurl it at your opponents, skewering both of them and dealing X damage. Then you retrieve it and bend it back into a <weapon>.
:: ''Three or more opponents:''
:You hastily bend your <weapon> into a harpoon, and hurl it at your opponents, skewering three of them and dealing X damage. Then you retrieve it and bend it back into a <weapon>.
*Casting this skill can randomly be required by [[Mayor Ghost (Hard Mode)]].

==History==
* Prior to around December 22, 2010 this skill was only usable [[Underwater adventuring|underwater]].  If used on land, it gave the message: 
:''That skill only works underwater.''

==References==
*In the 2000 Playstation JRPG ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Dragoon|The Legend of Dragoon]]'', one of the first RPGs to include voice acting, the character [[Wikipedia:List_of_The_Legend_of_Dragoon_characters#Lavitz|Lavitz Slambert]] shouts "Harpoon!" when utilizing a special ability of the same name during combat. It is used (and therefore the audio is repeated) extremely often, leading it to become a meme within the RPG community.
