Sculpt: Hook is some crazy old trapper with a hook for a hand and a nice sharp axe and some kind of beartrap for a mouth. He looks pretty good and as a bonus he doesn't look out of place on mainly human teams, monster teams or even thrown in with a few guardians.

Gameplay: This was the first figure I got for Horrorclix and he's still getting played on a regular basis so he can't be bad! His damage alternates between spree and pain, both of which are useful and he gets one click of stamina too which is better than nothing and with 17 def he's not easy to hit. Trap is always useful though he's not really worth taking just for his trapping ability as it doesn't kick in till later on and there are cheaper figures for that purpose. Hook is most effective when fed a couple of victims to feed his spree. If you can take out two victims early on he gets a 4 point attack which isn't bad for 45 points and can provide an emergency backup if your tougher monsters get wiped out early on. Hook isn't too good on teams where you'll be needing to blood lots of monsters but if using up a pair of victims or more is an option then Hook can be a real powerhouse and provide a decent backup if your tougher monsters get taken out early.
