Hook Horror

Hook Horrors are a species of Cave Dwelling Monstrosity that first appeared in the Table Top Game Dungeons and Dragons. It is a Rare creature that is widely believed to be the Origin species for the Bio-Mechanical Gigan due to its similar body type and hook-like weapons. They are found primarily in caves and also can be found in large sizes in the Hollow Lands where they prey on Hellhawks that they turf war for their caves. Hook Horrors are blindsighted but tap their toes on the ground like a raptor to communicate with each other. their claws are incredibly sharp and are able to tear the human skull right off the spinal cord from a single Brutal Swing. Hook Horrors are also known to lay eggs which they huddle around in a creepy circle to ensure no snakes or bugs attack them. as an Attacker class creature(Subclass: Spacing), They reach heights of either 1.9 meters everywhere else to a humongous heigt of 60 meters tall in the hollow lands. During wars the smaller ones attack humans from above and aim their hooks directly towards the back of the neck which would easily disable and paralyze the brain if its hook got stuck inside the spine.

## Biology

The hook horror was especially susceptible to diseases and parasites. They had a life expectancy of less than forty years.

Hook horrors needed to molt to shed their hard exoskeletons after growth occurred. During a period of two days, the old exoskeleton would drop off in flakes, while a new one formed underneath. For a period of a few days after the old exoskeleton had been completely shed, the hook horror's new one was soft and it was much more susceptible to damage.

Hook horrors did not see well at all, but their hearing was extremely acute and they had a keen sense of smell. In a cave, hook horrors could produce a high-pitched sound that could not be heard by most other creatures. It enabled them to use echolocation, much like the sonar of a bat, to "see" nearby objects and environments without the need for light. Hook horrors were sensitive to bright light.

Hook horrors reproduced by laying eggs in a closely guarded central location. The eggs looked like rocks, 3 inches (8 centimeters) in diameter and they were spread among actual rocks in the horrors' cavern for camouflage. They would hatch after six months, producing a 1-foot-tall (30 centimeters) hook horror baby. After a year, it would reach 7 feet (1.9 meters) in height, and would reach its full size after 17 years. It remained with its parents for the first year of life and spent the second becoming more and more independent, before finally no longer needing its parents by the third year. It would seek out a mate of its own from the age of six. some instances found in the Hollow Lands reached gigantic sizes of 60 meters tall.
