Yeah, I really like the harpoon attack, and if I were to use them I'd consider importing some of the mechanics from the 3E harpoons. Has potential, I think, as an auxiliary enemy in an encounter on a ship. Some sort of flying creature, perhaps, with merrow in the water underneath trying to hook people and drag them under the ship.
