Name variations: grappling hook

This tag is primarily about the gameplay mechanic than the actual tool.

This may also allow pulling inventory items to you, but not environmental objects (see `grappling hook´ for that, except in case it is limited to only pulling objects to you rather than allowing greater mobility).
