Is the harpoon useful for anything?

[KDR_11k]

Okay, I got this Abyssal Harpoon and it seems kinda useless. I can throw it at mobs and pull them in. I cannot switch to another weapon without ending the pull so it's not useful for, say, deer. I guess I can pull in things that want to murder me anyway (yoinking trolls with it looks hilarious but isn't useful) or use it on really weak targets like birds.

Things I wish it worked on that it doesn't:
- fish
- dropped items
- cargo crates
- boats (for getting them closer to the shore)
- guck

Is it just a joke item for making trolls fly?

It's nice for moving tamed animals :-)

I think its used for bringing serpents close to the shore so you can kill them and loot them because the loot they drop sinks to the bottom.

Isn't it too damaging for boars?

It's rather pointless, as is taming.

130 hours and I didn't even think of this. Learn something new every day. Kudos and thanks!
