G-hook
Invented by Greta Gretchen-Hoffer, this is a throwable hook that will catch onto almost anything if flung correctly. Super-light and super-strong. Made of carbon-fibre mixed with Krypto-web fibre. Dash, Rob, Greta & Ellen always have them in their backpacks.
G-hooks are designated Legitimate Stealth Equipment (LSE) by the International Stealth Equipment Designation Committee (ISEDC) and G-hook throwing tutorials are offered by the ILCSGM (Institute of Leopard-Crawling and other Stealth Ground Manoeuvres), established by Leonora & Wilford Schleswig-Wompelstein.
The World G-hook Throwing Championships were first held in 2017.
