A hoopak is a type of staff that was invented by kender. They can be made of many different types of wood, including willow wood, with a fork at the top of the staff. The first thing a person may notice is the the sling on top of the staff, and at the bottom the staff is copper-clad for strength. The staff sling can be used to shoot or throw projectiles at someone, and the staff can be whirled around the head of the user casing a high-pitched whine.
