grapnel
On-Yomi: テイ
Koohii stories:
1) [mcfate] 22-10-2007(25): A grapnel is a small anchor with several hooks, used for anchoring small boats, or to pull up sunken objects (it looks very much like a grappling hook). The position of stones underwater determines where the grapnel will catch.
2) [astridtops] 17-3-2007(13): He was determined to climb this rock, so he used a grapnel.
3) [decals] 21-12-2010(7): This reminds of Link's hookshot. The annoying thing about his grapnel was that it could only hook onto rocks pre-determined by the game's maker. Just think of how many frustrating puzzles you could skip over if it could grab onto anything!
4) [NeoGlitch] 12-5-2012(1): If you ever played Zelda Wind Waker then you know the grapnel can only be hooked to special kinds of stones. The specific design of the stone (it usually has a white circle somewhere) determines if you can use your grapnel on it or not.
5) [koohiikun] 18-9-2010(1): The type of stone a grapnel snags will determine whether the climber lives or dies.
