A harpoon is a variation of the spear with a barbed spearhead. It often has a line attached to it.

Special: When a harpoon hits it remains embedded in the target and may not be used until freed from the target. A Large or smaller creature hit by a harpoon, it speed is halved. Until the barbed head is removed, the harpooned creature will take 1 hit point of damage per turn if it moves or takes an action. The barb can be removed by taking an action to pull or cut out the barbed head (causing 1d4 slashing damage to do so). If a successful Dexterity Medicine check is made when removing it, the damage is reduced to 1.

If the harpoon has a line attached, you can use an action to attempt to pull the creature toward you. To succeed at this, make a contested Strength check. If you succeed, the creature is pulled 5 feet toward you; but drop the line on a failure. Succeed or fail, the harpooned creature takes 1d4 slashing damage. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the line (AC 10) destroys the line without causing additional damage to the harpooned creature.
