Wind Waker: An abominable hook from Wind Waker.

An abominable hook from Wind Waker.

Hookshot: The hookshot is the main dungeon item in Wind Waker’s Wind Temple. It is primarily used to pull Link to an otherwise unreachable location, but it can also be used to flip switches, grab items, and stun enemies. In addition to these traditional uses of the hookshot, the hookshot has an additional synergy with the iron boots. If Link is wearing the iron boots when using the hookshot he becomes too heavy to be pulled and instead pulls whatever the hookshot strikes towards him. This is especially helpful when you want to pull down heavy stones blocking your path.

Never ask a pirate about their past. Especially when that pirate appears to be the corpses of a few different pirates sewn together and reanimated through the unholy union of forbidden magic and as yet unheard of science. One of this pirate’s three arms ends in a sharp hook that they use as a grapple to reel in the unsuspecting using the chain connected to the hook’s base.

----------

Neither Pudge nor Stitches, from DotA and Heroes of the Storm respectively, have a pirate skin which I think is a missed opportunity. A Frankenstein’s monster/zombie pirate with a wicked hook and cutlass seems pretty fun.

If I was one of those really crunchy homebrewers, I might go make this monster, but I would just give whatever monster a ranged hook attack that can pull victims near to it. Since it would be that monster's one special thing, I wouldn’t put too much effort into keeping it balanced.

Be excellent to everyone.
