{{Name}} is a physical defect that replaces the player's [[List of Body Parts#Feet|feet]] with the {{favilink|hooks}} natural equipment. The hooks grant no {{AV}}AV or {{DV}}DV and cannot be removed, preventing the player from wearing boots of any kind.  
{{Name}} is a physical defect that replaces the player's [[List of Body Parts#Feet|feet]] with the {{favilink|hooks}} natural equipment. The hooks grant no {{AV}}AV or {{DV}}DV and cannot be removed, preventing the player from wearing boots of any kind. Extra feet gained via {{favilink|Multiple Legs}} or {{favilink|Chimera}} are unaffected and can wear shoes normally, but as with all extra body parts the {{AV}}AV or {{DV}}DV of boots in the new slow will be averaged with the defenseless hook feet.


The hooks are classified as a [[Short Blade]] class natural weapon, benefitting from any skills the player has within that skill tree. They only do {{Heart}}1 damage.

* Hooks always apply {{Heart}}1 damage bleeding on a successfully penetrating hit with a save difficulty of 23
* Essentially no downside if you plan on eating [[Cloaca Surprise]] (unless you also have {{favilink|Multiple Legs}})
* The high penetration cap of the hooks makes them work well with {{favilink|Double-muscled}}.
* Essentially no downside if you plan on eating [[Cloaca Surprise]] unless you also have {{favilink|Multiple Legs}}, in which case the hooks will move to your remaining feet. (As of 204.61, this effect is bugged if you have more than one extra feet slot via {{favilink|Chimera}} parts. In this case, all remaining feet slots will be filled with hooks when you transform, but having feet severed and regenerated will reset this so that only one feet slot contains hooks.)
