What are the hooks on the back of the monster stands for?

See title for potentially stupid question.

Doubt those will be used again, I can't quite recall what we used them for in 1st, think it's what we put the wound counters in.

Indeed. Tis where the wound markers go ...

Rune tokens placed there for the distinction purposes when two or monsters of the same type are present.

Yep. It was a dumb question. They came into play today. Thanks all.

Not dumb really, vestigial place where you put the tokens that said how much damage a creature had taken.

Not vestigal but repurposed - the 2e rules state that these are used to hold the tokens identifying particular/unique monsters.
