Rulings

Creature cards with other types, such as artifact creature cards, count for undergrowth abilities.
(wotc2018-10-05)
Because tokens aren't cards, they never count for undergrowth abilities.
(wotc2018-10-05)
If you don't choose a target creature, Kraul Harpooner simply gets +X/+0 until end of turn.
(wotc2018-10-05)
If you choose a target and the target creature is an illegal target when Kraul Harpooner's ability tries to resolve, the ability doesn't resolve and Kraul Harpooner doesn't get +X/+0. If the target creature is legal but Kraul Harpooner is no longer on the battlefield, the target creature won't deal or be dealt damage.
(wotc2018-10-05)
The value of X is determined only as the undergrowth ability resolves. If the number of creature cards in your graveyard changes later in the turn, Kraul Harpooner is unaffected.
(wotc2018-10-05)
You choose the target of the triggered ability (or that it has no target) as it goes on the stack, but you choose whether the creatures fight as that ability resolves.
