Hook Horror

Despite the ridiculousness of only having claws for hands, the hook horror is a dangerous foe. It is quite adept with its hooks, capable of quickly eviscerating flesh and rending armor, and - against creatures that wield items - capable of ripping things right out of your hands. Enchanted armor may be better able to hold itself together against this creature's onslaught. Important fact: Hook horrors do not destroy weapons; that sword is on the ground somewhere!

It will also occasionally - and without warning - whip itself into a frenzy, barraging its target with a flurry of claws.

Origin

Hook horrors are taken from Dungeons & Dragons.
