'''Hook Guys''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] appearing in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. They are similar to [[Spear Guy]]s found in previous games of the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]], in that they carry a crochet hook that functions as a spear, hence the name. Most Hook Guys are encountered walking from side to side on the ground, holding the hook in front of them. Others are static but point their hooks upward. Still others are tied to [[Item Balloon]]s and float above the ground, pointing the hook downwards. The balloons will pop if [[Yoshi]] hits them with a [[yarn ball]] or if he simply walks underneath the Hook Guys, causing the enemies to drop to the ground and stick their hook into it. This leaves the Hook Guy suspended above the ground and unable to move. If the ground vanishes underneath a stuck Hook Guy, then the Hook Guy switches to walking left and right.

Yoshi will be damaged if he runs into a Hook Guy from the front or back sides. In addition, Hook Guys floating with balloons can pop any bouncy [[bubble]]s underneath them as they fall down. If Yoshi throws a yarn ball onto the enemy's hook, it will get stuck on its tip and render it harmless and unable to pop bubbles. It will also drop down immediately if it was on an Item Balloon. Frozen Hook Guys continue to hold yarn balls. To defeat a Hook Guy, Yoshi can jump on it or turn it into a yarn ball by eating it from behind, then ingesting it or spitting it out. In {{a|P&YWW}}, [[Poochy Pup]]s ignore the hooks of Hook Guys.
 
Hook Guys appear in the [[Poochy Dash]] mode of {{a|P&YWW}}, where their hooks are the only object in the entire mode capable of inflicting damage on [[Poochy]]. They can be seen standing in place or floating on Item Balloons, though in this mode none of them drop down.
