| − | '''Harvester''' are the byproduct of [[Amgarrak]]'s experiments on [[golems]], a monstrous [[Abomination]] made from the corpses of its victims. They sustains themselves on the dead, whether long-deceased or freshly killed. |

| − | == Background == |
||
| − | The first Harvester was created by accident when the smiths of [[Amgarrak]] were experimenting on [[Caridin]]'s work with the hope of recreating and improving it. The smiths used dead [[Castes|casteless]] [[dwarves]] bodies instead of metal and stone, claiming that "It would be a honor for a casteless dwarf to die in such way". Nereda, the [[Tevinter]] mage in Amgarrak, sealed a [[Fade]] spirit inside a construct made out of flesh and bone. When the construct came alive, the head removed itself from the body and disappeared, becoming the first Harvester. It killed numerous people in the thaig and after witnessing what their twisted creation was capable of, they were forced to trap it in a level of the [[Fade]] via the use of the [[Lyrium]] Wells and seal the thaig. Since then, people have long forgotten about both the Harvesters and the thaig. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Harvesters set about gathering the flesh of the dead to add to they bodies to create a sort of flesh golem which they use like an armor. It seems that the Harvesters is capable of manipulating the Lyrium Wells and using them to its advantage. While battling against the [[The Warden-Commander]], it shifts him/her and his/her party through different levels of the Fade in order to become more powerful. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It's also seen that with a secret ritual of [[Blood Magic]], a mage alive can merge with corpses and become a Harvester with its flesh golem. |

||
| − | {{SpoilerGoA|A Harvester is the final boss of ''[[The Golems of Amgarrak]]'' [[DLC]]. The battle is biphasic: the first part of the battle is spent fighting the twisted flesh golem that the Harvester has amassed, and the second is where you must fight the Harvester itself. Its death triggers the destruction of the Forge within Amgarrak, and thus the [[thaig]] itself. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Once the Harvester is defeated, the [[Warden]], along with [[Jerrik]] and [[Brogan Dace]], are shown leaving the crumbling thaig, followed closely by a horde of Harvesters.}} |

| − | == Trivia == |
||
| − | * While it is easy to mistake a Harvester for a [[golem]] of flesh and bone, it is untrue. Because a demon was drawn from the Fade to animate the eventual-Harvester, it is technically an [[Abomination]] similar to the possession of other objects, e.g. not unlike the creation of [[Sylvans]] and [[undead]]. |
||
| − | * However, for bonuses and such, the Harvester counts as a darkspawn. |
