Hooked tail (or bend tail) is a 6-cell still life component, and an extension of tail by two cells (a domino).

Not all objects which can have tails attached can have hooked tails attached (and for those that do, isomeric variants may not exist), as hooked tails attach in a fundamentally different way to normal tails. The following are examples of small objects with hooked tails:

• 
  loop (hook with hooked tail)
• 
  boat with hooked tail
• 
  beehive with hooked tail
• 
  snorkel loop (claw with hooked tail)
• 
  crinkly heptomino with hooked tail
• 
  loaf with hooked tail
