Description
Hook Horrors are strange vicious creatures native to the Underdark. Despite being blind due to spending most of their lives in pure darkness, these avian-insectoid-looking things can sense their surroundings and prey just find using their other senses, as well as echolocation. As their names would suggest, these monstrosities use the large, sharp hooks on their arms to hunt and disembowel their prey, they can also use their hooks for climbing on the cave walls and ceilings. Hook Horrors like to ambush their prey by either sneaking to them, or by dropping on them from above, and despite them being over 9ft tall and 500 pounds, they're quite sneaky when they want to be.

Hook Horrors also don't often hunt alone, as they'll bring one or more members of their kind to hunt with them, whether they be other packmates, a mating pair, or hooklings that just went under their first molt. Hook Horrors are opportunistic omnivores, which you wouldn't know since they often kill any creature they see, though they will eat patches of cave lichen and glowing mushrooms, as well as sweet glow berries if they ever find some. They also love eating people, with their some of their favorite kinds of people to eat being Drow, due to their blood tasting like a spider's thanks to Lolth meddling with their DNA, and giant spiders are also their favorite snack, so for the Horrors this is both of best worlds, the taste of Elf flesh mixed with spidery ichor.

Although for the most part they are highly aggressive creatures, Hook Horrors are extremely intelligent and near sapient, they've even managed to integrate low, primitive Undercommon in their language of screeching and clicks. An interesting quality in their language is that the speak softly when they're content or speaking of topics such as family, friends, and the overall wellbeing of their pack, where as they sound much aggressive and harsh when agitated or hunting.
