A Harpy is a flying enemy that spawn at high altitudes, typically around Floating Island heights. Prior to Hardmode, they cannot spawn on the horizontal middle of the map, around an area equal to one tenth of its complete length. This restriction is removed in Hardmode. They move following the Bat AI, and fire feather projectiles in inaccurate bursts of three.

Up to seven Harpies can exist on screen during the day, ten at night, and fifteen during a Blood Moon.
