Couldn't the DM say something like "the hook horror rears back and glares at you...in an instant it leaps through the air and attempts to tackle you. Roll a saving throwing on...dex...to see if you get knocked prone...you failed, you are knocked to the ground taking....10 dmg as it charges into your chest and sweeps at your legs as it lands on the ground..."
Something like that....just because it isn't a specific attack, can't you adapt and use narrative?
I pick up a rock and throw it at the minotaur's eye....roll dex to see if you hit your intended mark...you hit....roll to see dmg.....you do enough damage to blind the minotaur on the left side of his vision....I keep strafing to the left to stay out of the minotaur's site, attempting to dodge his oncoming attacks....the minotaur now has a -1 to hit chance as it flails around in pain and anger.
Or are all your fights in D&D...I attack...I roll...I hit....I roll...I did 8 dmg...your turn....
