Finally we have HOGGER back!

[Normercy-aggramar (Normercy)]

His teeth are STILL too white in the newer versions!!!

tries to flip table

fails

[Morgam-proudmoore (Morgam)]

Even Hogger understands the importance of proper dental hygiene.

[Saángreal-moon-guard (Saángreal)]

[Sasarai-blades-edge]

It was more of a mockery

[Spathy-wyrmrest-accord]

This was an alpha model and clearly an overreaction to something that was gonna be changed anyway.

I knew that boy would look good when they were finished. xD

[Spathy-wyrmrest-accord]

@Arlenadja-moon-guard

Small technical changes but big vibe changes.

Basically it’s the difference between a punk rock look and an animal crossing look, which is kind of important for gnolls.

I like the update but I already knew first was gonna be just a placeholder model.

@Grimoire-stormrage

Dates back to early Vanilla for a lot of us. There were many many jokes about the “evil hogger”. The current one looks like he was made by Disney.

Hogger is still and always was a silly character (yes I know he flayed people but so do murlocks) but it’s just important that he feels punk-like.

@Kennie-malganis

@Xunfooki-stormrage

Still don’t understand the rage over the first one.

Considering how many people were simultaneously upset about it I’m going to go out on a limb and say it was some streamer and/or youtuber.

“LOL FURRIES!”

@Lahil-wyrmrest-accord

But WoW players has this weird thing against Disney and furrys so w/e I guess.

People don’t understand furries because the updated hogger also will apeal to furries. Ferocious animal man is what most furries like. Lol.

@Slade-kargath

He’s a legend for a reason.

My guy he was always a comic relief character.

[Rosenivy-area-52 (Rosenivy)]

Figured he’d get something special. As he should.

Both version tho just make me wanna boop him on the snoot the little cutie

[Slade-kargath]

@Spathy-wyrmrest-accord

My guy he was always a comic relief character.

Nah, back in the day, killing him was a right of passage.
Killing him was the capstone of completing the zone.
Until you killed him you didn’t truly “finish” the zone.

Thrall was comic relief to me, an orc who led the Mighty Horde…

Who acted like a human and wanted nothing more than peace?

That was pure comedy.

I’m like 100 percent sure playable gnolls incoming. >_>

[Rosenivy-area-52 (Rosenivy)]

Would be kinda neat. I’m just not sure they’re intelligent enough for it. I’m getting deja vu so if I said that to you already then oops lol

[Beaupeep-draka (Beaupeep)]

@Grimoire-stormrage

You fixed Hogger in Alpha!

If you are talking about the first picture set, that’s not an improvement.

@Spathy-wyrmrest-accord

@Slade-kargath

He’s a legend for a reason.

My guy he was always a comic relief character.

He was both.

He was the villain we needed when we didn’t know we needed him.

[Maurdeth-moon-guard (Maurdeth)]

Hoggers in the chat.

[BobAwesome-1745642 (BobAwesome)]

[Airc-shattered-hand (Airc)]

I feel the new gnolls’ teeth are too white, and probably too small.

[Spathy-wyrmrest-accord]

Quest 64 lookin’ model

[BobAwesome-1745642 (BobAwesome)]

The golden age!
