Hook Guy

Hook Guys first appear in Yoshi's Woolly World. They are similar to Spear Guys found in previous Yoshi's Island games. Their spear is slightly curved on the top which makes it look like a hook, hence the name. As normal Spear Guys, Yoshi can turn them to eggs (but in this game, yarn balls) by eating them from behind.

The hooks can pop bubbles however If a Yarn Ball is thrown at a one, it will become impaled on the Hook Guy's hook, and becomes ineffective, and can't pop bubbles nor harm Yoshi. Their hooks can also get impaled in the ground, leaving the Hook Guy suspended above the ground.
