The Harpy Queen is a Pre-Hardmode boss that is meant to be fought shortly after the Eater of Worlds. Similarly to King Slime, defeating this boss is not essential to progressing through the world. It looks like a large harpy with a tiara.

Summoning
In order to summon the Harpy Queen, the player must first craft the Harpy Bait. Once the player has the Harpy Bait, he/she must use it while in the sky biome. Once used, a message will appear in chat saying: "The Harpy Queen is awoken!" and the fight will begin.

Stage 1:
In stage 1, the boss is fairly docile. It will simply try to hover somewhere above the player and fire 3-5 feathers at him/her. The feathers go out in a spread, travel through blocks, and cannot be destroyed.

Stage 2:
Once the boss reaches 1/2 health (2/3 in Expert Mode),it will enter stage 2. In stage 2, the boss gains a new attack where it charges the player. The boss will retreat off screen and dash at the player very quickly, then repeat it about 4-5 times, very similar to the Queen Bee. The boss will also shoot feathers a lot quicker.

Stage 3 (Expert Mode Only):
In Expert Mode, once the boss reaches 1/3 health, it will enter stage 3. In stage 3, it gains yet another attack: a deadly screech. The screech attack is visible on screen as distortions in the background. This attack goes out in a cone-shape for about 8 tiles, making it difficult to dodge. However, once the boss starts the screech, it cannot move until it finishes screeching (about 3 seconds).
