Harpy

The Harpy is a flying enemy that spawns at high altitudes, typically above the height of Floating Island. It uses the Bat AI, and fires Harpy Feathers, which deal 30 damage. The Harpy itself deals 25 damage.

Harpies can spawn at any time, day or night, but will only spawn far away from the center of the map, and cannot spawn in the middle third of the map. 7 Harpies can exist on screen during the day, 10 at night, and 15 during a Blood Moon.





Tips
One way to fight Harpies is to construct a large platform near the top of the map with the ability for harpies to pass on top of it. Using regular blocks means that you have to create large enough openings for the Harpies; using wooden platforms allows them to come up through the platforms but also leaves you vulnerable to attacks below.

An even more effective way to fight Harpies is to build a box of material(undestroyable by lava), like Obsidian Brick´s, and create a safe area, where harpies will spawn(350-850 feet above).Then place a Bucket of Lava above it. When this area is closed you are actually able to go afk for an indefinite time.This technique will make it easy to collect feathers and money.

Blood Moon and/or Water Candle and/or Battle Potion will all increase the enemy spawn rate significantly.
