Hogger is one of the most notorious characters in the entire history of warcraft, but why? He is tough, he is ruthless, he has little to no lore, and I love him to death. Join me today as we tackle the scourge of Elwynn Forest.

LFG Hogger
Bought a Zanny shirt from Orochi. It was too large (american sizing) so i turned it into a piece of wall art! very cool art
[Noobganker] whispers: inv me
5k gs is that enough?
Im down
I have pre hogger bis and wbuffs INV
I love these videos on minor villains, gives us a greater appreciation of the challenges faced on the way to the main villain.
I agree. Finding out mini bosses had lore is such an interesting experience.
Hogger's not even a minor villain, he's an annoyance at best. Hence why there's no real attempt by Stormwind to deal with him, just throw a bounty on it and hope someone deals with it.
He's more of a player legend, and a glorious one at that. And yes, I have said the infamous words, and Hogger may have been a deciding factor in me becoming a tank.
Minor??
Nothing like a serious villainpedia and a memepedia one two punch, gotta love it
I didn't know Hogger was this famous. Him being super strong in HOTS makes sense now
Lovely bit of work, as always, Ghost.
One thing I'd like to add to Hoggers status is during the intro quests for Horde players during Battle for Azeroth, where they find a woman caged up in a gnoll costume with the headwear off and her dialogue being something like "I told the guards it was just a costume, but did they listen? No!"
This all being a reference to a Blizzcon Cosplay contest winner, whose suit sadly broke apart as she went to collect her prize.

Reference, yes, but I also firmly believe this is proof that Hogger did not die in the Stockades and is still alive somewhere in the current day.
Having never played WoW, but remembering what 2004 was like, this video makes me happy. I miss that internet, that world. This and your video on Vancleef are my favorites because 1) the passion and 2) Its legit nice to see things from games you like the idea of but haven’t played yet. keep up the great work, ghost with the most
As someone who's never played WOW I enjoy these videos on the villains of this world. It's fun to learn about their lore.
same here
you should try it some time. You can play for the first 20~ levels completely free. That's a good couple days of fun and gameplay (assuming you don't rush through it). If you like the lore and everything, you'd probably like experiencing and exploring the game for yourself, even if you don't normally play this type of game.
You aren't missing much, grindfest of a game where 90% of players just rush to the level cap instead of enjoying themselves. If you like to run dungeons and raids or whatever you'd like it but after working all day the LAST thing I enjoy doing is working with other players lol. Probably why despite playing the game off and on for years I've never reached max level.
I remember the old days of brand new level 1 alliance players grouping and rushing Hogger as a badge of honor. A slaughter, the horror. The horror.
When The Season of Discovery servers first opened up I, like many other's, couldn't quest worth a darn due to the massive amount of people playing at launch. Then I saw a message in general;
"LFM Hogger Raid"
I've done my fair share of things in WoW, gotten a few Keystone Master's, downed a few Heroic Raid bosses, gotten a few close yet epic PvP victories but none of that, none of it...
Gave me the same kind of excitement as being part of The World First SoD Hogger kill and being the first Warrior to get The Rune of Furious Thunder.

Can never get enough of your videos man. Could listen to you talk about anything!
Your voiceovers are filled with so much emotion and make the videos incredibly fun and interesting to watch/listen to
More importantly, his narration style is both animated yet still natural. So many TH-camrs are ruined for me by either over the top or monotonous narration. Ghost is clearly a good storyteller IRL and it shows in his videos from the structure to how he speaks. Him and Boulder Punch are the only 2 video essayists I really care for.
There were actually 12 low level world elites, 2 per zone for every second levelling zone in 1.X (and in classic) and up until patch 2.4 there was also 2 elite mobs in the starting zones, one in Teldrassil, which was the largest starting zone in the game for alliance - split into two zones and the other was in Tirisfal Glades, the largest starting zone for horde also split into two zones. One of them was for a WANTED quest, other other was just a roamer. They were originally placed in the game, as you said with the intention as being a zone boss and something to mess with new players. In 2.4 the two starting zone elites (both level 10) were turned into normal mobs, they were tied to quests which at level 10 were impossible to solo and by the end of Burning Crusade the devs noticed the population density in low level zones was so small that it was impossible for new players to get a group for those early elite quests without help from a guild if they had joined one, so those two quests were changed.
For some reason out of all those elites, only Hogger is remembered; Not the others; I guess it just goes to show that the Alliance human start had the largest population of numpties back in the day. my first character was a night elf and I soloed the elite north of Auberdine entirely by accident (can't remember that mob's name), it was the second elite I encountered and this was I think on the second day I was playing the game after first starting in 2005, I didn't even notice it was an elite, I just was like "oh this mob has more health than normal", I kited it and beat it, another person came along and was like "OMG did you just solo an elite!?" I was like "oh, well, for me it wasn't a big deal." Then again, I solo'd Murkdeep later that day too; No big deal either.

This gives me hope that we will one day have a Villainpedia entry for Randal the Vandal
man after ive been binging SoD lately, this one is PERFECTLY timed. love your vids dude thanks so much for your work
your voice for some reason is perfect for narrating Warcraft and World of Warcraft lore
I love Hogger. He's a good adversary and test to your build and learning of your character by the time you get to him. I actually *love* the new gnoll models, but I prefer his pre-launch version. The latest is a little too... "Well put together" to be the leader of some "savage gnolls." 😂
Wish the hugger pet was full-sized, though. Can you imagine one hanging out inside of Stormwind right after some new player just scraped by the fight? 😂 Don't like the arresting of him, though. It just doesn't make sense.
I feel Hogger can tell us something about modern game development as well. Something like this would not be allowed to make it into a modern game. A massive difficulty spike in a starting zone? NERF. REMOVE. DELETE.
We've learned so much about what to do and what not to do when creating and balancing games, but yet.. Hogger is a legend and has provided a lot of fun for players.
Not true in the slightest and im kinda sick of people who show up just to say shit like that. Hell like a dragon came out in the last few years and has a Massive difficulty spike. People need to stop pretending old games were oh so much harder and didnt hold hands unlike the new BABY GAMES FOR BABYS GENERATION. It is like the gamer version of "thats not real music! back in my day!" Ect ect
@@noctotainlowry9246it's undeniable that things have become more sanitized, controlled, and designed solely to keep people hooked.
@@bbbbbbb51 yes and thats why horror games have become more popular then they ever have been. Why games like mortal combat have become only More goreya. And nudity and sex are more prevelant in the gaming industry then Ever. Do NOT come at me with that sanitized bs hell i can even pull further back to not even this console generation with season one of telltales walking dead where you can Shoot a Child not once. But TWICE. If you had done that during the ps1 or ps2 era the fucking industry would have been burned at the stake and dragged into senate hearings all over again. Even two generations ago you could not have convinced a publisher to release baulders gate three for example given the Much much more tame Sex scenes in Mass effect One made national news.
I hail from durotar but even I have heard the tales of the gnoll they call hogger
I remember gnolls in bg1
Although I did play that in my mid 20s and I played Wow as a kid, I know bg1 came out years earlier.
Seriously one of the most underrated channels on TH-cam. Nice work
Thanks for these amazing videos GhostCharm.
I'm watching this one as I'm sick and I actually watched your last one while I was sick too.
It's been a hell of an entry into the winter season.
Here's hoping you're better now friend!
Ballas from Warframe would be a fun addition to the villainpedia collection :)
always happy to see more WoW characters on the channel. 🖤
Broke: “Deadmines is the first Alliance instance”
Woke: “Hogger is the first Alliance instance”
Bespoke: "Goldshire is the first Alliance instance"
I’m curious how many kills Hogger actually has in Wow. That number has got to be incredibly high
For season of discovery they should definitely make bigger a world boss when the level cap eventually hits 60
Dude I love you, please make more of these WoW Villainpedias. Happy holidays to you and your family.
Please do a Villainpedia on Vesper 2 Snail, or on Iguazu. Both have rich stories worthwhile to tell.
Helll yeah, Ghostcharm wow video. Might have to re subscribe to wow and play season of discovery after watching this.
It's very fun!
Quite fun already lv 25
That one prediction that I saw about Hogger was correct.
You should do a video on the nowhere king, he is a very well written and layered villain
Well done video, absolutely flawless narration.
Love how deep you went into this and how much extra outside information you told us about this!
When I finally hit level 60 in Classic, I fully intend to go to Elwyn and give out free Hogger kills as sweet, sweet retribution.
Back in Everquest days he'd be called an undercon. Which reminds me, if you want one of the OG mmo villains take a look at Sergeant Slate from Everquest, the hatred for that guy was epic.
I always pop hard for these videos. Been a sub for about 2 years now. Love the chill style. Keep growing brother 💯
I love the Villainpedias, but I hope we get some more World or Heropedias soon!
oh yes :)
Did someone say "THUNDERFURY,BLESSED BLADE OF THE WINDSEEKER"?
Love the realworld folklore/story info. Werehyenas have a rich history in Africa
One of my favorite TH-camrs!!!! Amazing video man!
The nostalgia, I could feel the hogger feeling lol thanks so much for the video
Babe wake up, new Ghostcharm just dropped
Exactly my thoughts 😂
@@leonidastsigounakis5796 memelords unite
Okay, just 5 minutes more
A double whammy from Ghostcharm within a month? Early Christmas man
Dude, you are literally my favorite TH-camr
40 man naked gnome raids for Hogger were a thing back in the day. I really do think gamers who havent played WoW in its infancy have missed out on one of the greatest gaming experiences you could have. The scale of the world and the number of people playing it made it feel like it was alive. It was also in the early days of the internet, it was all new, we had no clue what we were doing and there were no TH-cam videos showing you what to do, there was no discord either. Ventrillo and the like were used, but it was much more basic form of communication. Meaning, there wasnt a ventrillo room with 50k wow players sharing info about the game. It really was special and Im glad I lived through it. 26:02
Imagine a timeline in which Hogger is an avatar of Yeenoghu the Beater.
Enjoy the nightmares. 😎
Haven't seen or heard them for ages now. Good times
I love these videos, I think a villain that would 100% be worthy of a video is SHODAN from System Shock, I would love to hear her story
I did not expect Hogger on this series
gnolls the 1 thats is stuck in my head is Snarl mane
Fantastic content man. You always deliver the best lore videos in my humble opinion. I hope you have a wonderful holiday. 🎉
Villainpedia on The Mitanni from Eve online would be cool. He's a villainous character whilst also being an actual human guy
Love your videos so much. I’m sure we’re all excited for you to return from your trip with another banger on the horizon
Bruh the Hogger raids were the highlight of maintenance back in the day!
Not related to Hogger or WOW, but it’s your newest video right now and I thought I would ask, are you thinking about or currently working on a video about Kratos? I don't know whether he would be in Heropedia or Villainpedia, maybe similar to that one video you did on Sheogorath? Regardless, I thought I would ask. Always love your videos man! They're the highlight of my day when I see you upload, keep up the good work!
Thank you for being my great fan!
i always took tauren. did you know they are the only race without a race specific raid or dungeon? at least before we got the fox people. meaning they are the only old race that doesn't have a raid or dungeon where they are the majority of the mobs you are killing all the way though. thousand needles questline would of been one if it was a actual dungeon and not a long outdoor quest chain.
Another certified classic Ghostcharm BANGER
LIVING IN A DOG-MAN'S NIGHTMARE - MUDDBARK, real song by an all knoll band 😂 god I love fantasy fiction
Like any good rpg game it's always that one minor bad guy at level 3 that everyone remembers despite having all the back story of 3 sentences and a funny voice
Love how you write and narrate these.
Just got here, love the series and the channel. Seeing as you recently looked at dark link, maybe soon we could look at dark samus or blood falcon?
Who up cranking they Hogger right now
Dawg XD
dude i’m being fed by this addition to the WoW vids
Shaco violin music from the league music documentary is PREMIUM 2:48
Giving the smaller game characters lore and attention is what a lot of other lore and fantasy channels lacked.
Usually, the details of the small guys are the foundations to give a game or story world it's flavors
Thank you for being my great fan!
FFXI had a take on Gnoles that I really enjoyed, not being of WoW stock. They made them more wolf like, and played more into werewolf type attributes, giving them a moon phase based healing ability that also acted as an attack buff. Some of the higher level ones could alternate from being on all fours to being on their hind legs, and when on their hind legs they became quite imposing, and would use claw attacks with names similar to Monk's hand to hand weapon skills. In addition to that they possessed a counter stance, and could be quite rough to fight during a full moon.
"Ghostcharm, King of the Fools"
LONG LIVE THE KING
Thank you for being my great fan!
For some reason this has me remembering the MMO Aion which I played when it first came out and there was (maybe still is) a crab in one of the noob areas that totally steamrolls new players and people used to call it Crab Norris though it had a different name officially.
Do a video for dwarf mains, the infamous and illusive Vagash
Hogger is eternal, was in Elwynn sonner on Grobulus classic server and someone posted LFG Hogger! on general chat xD
I don't think you ever played EQ but this video makes me want a villainpedia of the classic gnoll villain who would suicide assault the town of Queynos every 10 minutes in the Everquest days. He who was an epic meme of his time before WoW came out: Fippy Darkpaw
Love these WoWpedias. Have a good holiday Ghost
I would to see your video about Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain original game lore.
HotS Hogger is actually so fucking fun to play. Going full Crash Bandicoot in a tight corner or pathway is so satisfying.
God, the memories of those level 1 hogger raids will stick with me until I die (hopefully soon, the good blood willing)
"Ugh fine... I guess you are my little Hogchamp."
Embrace the Pain. Oh boy stories of people losing to this thing too. It's gonna be fun.
You single-handedly got me into WoW
Literally FOR THE HORDE!!! never encountered this npc
When they added him to Heroes of the Storm, they brought a little bit of life back to that dead game
Its always fascinated me how "fantasy beings" have evolved...
like how gnolls was originally a kind of troll, but is now a furry creature... Wait till you hear about "kobolds" being goblins
I have him in heartstone love the vibe of him
I heard Hogger got into a fight with Chuck Norris. The world exploded and they're still floating in space locked in combat.
I know very little about WoW lore and only learned this guy exists through hearthstone. Since he was a legendary card in that game I thought he would on the same tier as Illidian and what not. Turns out I was right and wrong at the same time lol
Hogger, the OG of the Elite
"Our dog hogger"
SOMEONE doesn't know about hyenas being cats...
Thank you for being my great fan!
Love your videos my man, you deserve way more subs the videos have always been top notch and you've only gotten better throughout the years
Hogger becoming so powerful makes me think of my favorite headcannon for the Emperor of Mankind, in that he is strong, but is even stronger than he should be because the ork boyz all believe he is that powerful and their communal belief empowers him further,
me and all my homies fucking love hogger lfg!
I want someone to make a little fanimation of like 40 dudes rolling out for some epic final battle, cutting down Gnolls left and right like a scene straight out of lord of the rings only for Hoggers to show up like Sauron and start throwing players.
As always, great video. Much thanks my man
The only channel on TH-cam i eagerly await videos for.
Thank you for being my great fan!
Oh my god!!!!!!! I reread the hint and it makes perfect sense! I said something from Warcraft, but I was not expecting this. You’re the GOAT, ghost.
Hogger the knoll, the myth, the legend.
HOGGER?? HELLLLL YEAH BROTHER
Miss these old but gold mmos.
how on earth did this man make a half-hour video about Hogger...
A 26+ minute video about HOGGER? I have to watch and see how you did this...
for me, it'll always be Fippy Darkpaw
i love ur warcraft and elderscrolls vids the most ❤
I thought the title was Vanillapedia and we were going to get a series on Classic WoW lore
