What is the name of the thug with a hook hand in Tangled?

The name of the Tangled thug with a hook hand is Hook Hand.

Hook Hand is one of the colorful criminals encountered at the Snuggly Duckling, the rough-looking pub where Rapunzel and Flynn Rider seek help. He is a large, bald thug whose metal hook is his defining visual feature, but his personality quickly undercuts the intimidating appearance: he dreams of becoming a concert pianist.

That unexpected ambition is revealed during “I’ve Got a Dream,” when the pub’s supposedly dangerous patrons share their secret hopes. Hook Hand’s musical dream becomes one of the film’s jokes about appearances, showing that the thugs are eccentric people rather than simple villains.

Viewers sometimes mix him up with Big Nose, Vlad, Attila, or Shorty, the other distinctive pub patrons. Big Nose is identified by his prominent nose, while Vlad is a different thug. Hook Hand is also distinct from Hook Foot, a related character introduced in the later Tangled television series.
