A Sub-Trope of Improvised Weapon, a hook is a curved or bent device for catching, holding, or pulling, while a crook is an implement having a bent or hooked form, such as a shepherd's staff. These can be great weapons with the addition of tripping and catching things. Included are canes and fishing hooks. Hooks on a rope or chain can also be used as Grappling-Hook Pistol. Meat hooks are quite common when this trope is applied. Especially in the hands of a butcher. (literal or otherwise) They can come in several varieties as well; such as a hand-held hook with a handle, just the meat hook itself or even attached to a length of chain (sort of turning it into an Epic Flail). The chain definitely helps when the hook is thrown, then snags onto somebody and that poor soul is being dragged back. Usually to their death. Sometimes often seen in situations (cartoons or comedies mostly) where a comedian is doing so poorly on stage, that a large wooden crook on a stick comes up from offstage and yanks him away: see Vaudeville Hook. See also Hook Hand, Cane Fu, Parasol of Pain, Anchors Away, Crowbar Combatant* since the vast majority of crowbars have a curved hooked end and, if you're thinking of sickles, Sinister Scythe. Overlaps with Pipe Pain for pipes with an elbow joint. May or may not related to Hooking the Keys depending on the context. |

In Night Watch, it is mentioned that the butchers on the rebel's side are particularly terrifying to the soldiers, as they wield a large number of meat hooks, normal weapons being in little use. In Thud!!, Vimes' butler Willikins suddenly reveals his Battle Butler side by carrying a few meat hooks with "worrying expertise". | |

A hook-tipped chain is also the weapon of choice for The Scorpion (and presumably the source of his nickname) in Ultimate Spider-Man (2012). The fact that he's also a ninja in this continuity is most likely a reference to another iconic character named Scorpion. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons the "Gaff/Hook" as a typical Improvised Weapon in naval and quasi-naval settings got official weapon stats. Long before a crowbar or pry bar. In the Eberron D&D setting, orcs of the Shadow Marches use crook-style implements to propel their shallow-bottomed marsh boats and to hook fishing nets from the water. They're also usable as quarterstaves in a pinch. |

A commonly seen and used in the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series. Especially by it's most iconic character, the cannibalistic, chainsaw-wielding and face wearing: Leatherface. One of the most famous kills in the original film is of Leatherface hanging Pam on a giant meathook while she's still alive and screaming. In The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Leatherface catches an escaping victim with a hook and drags her back to his family's house. In Texas Chainsaw 3D after Leatherface scares Kenny when he accidentally finds himself in the former's turf. The former scares him off with a meat hook and makes use of it when the latter tries to escape from him. Stabbing him in the back and dragging him down. |

Fallout 4: The Far Harbor DLC adds the Meat Hook and Pole Hook as new melee weapons. The meat hook is a one-handed weapon consisting of a hook on a crossbar while the pole hook is a hook on a long pole. In the standard game, the wrench can be upgraded with a large hook for extra damage. | |

In "With This Ring Find Me Dead!" in Batman #305, a disguised Batman is attacked by a group of suspicious locals. Hearing one of them approaching behind him, Batman dodges but gets hit in the shoulder by a longshoreman hook. He later mentally chides himself for having dodged anticipating a knife and being caught by surprise when his attacker was wielding a hook. | |

God of War: Hades has the Claws of Hades, a pair of hooks on chains that have the power to rip off one's soul. In the third game, after killing Hades, Kratos gets to use them himself. Disappointingly, they're not all that different from the default Blades of Exile. | |

Girl Genius: A member of Captian Hawkins' crew fights with a pair of hooks attached by a chain. In this instance they're a group of rather obvious Sky Pirates who insist that they're perfectly legal merchants who dress that way because it's their heritage, later evidence shows that they're more like recovering pirates who are sort of trying to do legal business. | |

Corvus from The Dragon Prince also prefers to fight with this weapon, and he is a very good fighter. He is a good or at least righteous man. More or less, because he does not like elves, and accuses Rayla of a murder committed by her leader, and not by her. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind: Pesci's Stand, Beach Boy, is a fishing rod capable of three things; it's capable of tracking people and literally fishing them out from other rooms, it can phase through any and all objects including skin, and attacking the line simply reflects all damage onto whoever it's hooked into. Steel Ball Run: Pork Pie's Stand, Wired, has two hooked chains coming from his mouth which he can send through various objects to attack. |

Warhammer 40,000: Tyranids use a biological version of this, aptly named flesh hooks. These weapons are typically housed in the rib cage or abdomen and are fired by intercostal muscle spasms. Nominally, flesh hooks are used for scaling sheer surfaces, but they can also be used to impale or snare unfortunate victims and drag them to their doom Scorpion-style. | |

In Medieval II: Total War, the English can field regiments of soldiers with billhooks (see Real Life below). They won't blunt a head-on cavalry charge like a formation of pikemen, but billmen do better in a protracted melee against horse units than more conventional spearmen, and are also effective against enemy infantry. | |

A hermit demon from Journey to the West fights Sun Wukong with a crooked staff with the hook being made of precious materials: while the demon cannot defeat Sun Wukong, he can still use the hook to prevent him from collecting the sacred water he was guarding.
