Hook Wretch

Hook Wretch portrait

Not one wretch but a whole larder's worth of hooks, fused into something that walks. Its wide swing fouls whatever you throw back, and the grease it drags across the floor keeps your footing thin - any weakness you try to set here takes two parts in ten longer to bite.

🛢️ Greasebite
Every attack you make deals that much less. Decays by 1. Every blade you draw here comes back greased. The force you put into a swing is never the force that lands..
