Finally we have HOGGER back!

Looks more ugly than say the first remodel version.

Original is still VASTLY superior, but the alpha change is better, metrosexual Hogger was lulz.

You know I see this and I canā€™t help but wonder if the time and effort that they put into making a new hogger model for a character who remember is dead and has been dead for many years couldā€™ve gone into a character who is not dead but is just as relevant and was introduced in around the same time or even before.

Muradin, Falstad, Moira, Rokhan, Brann, Rommath, Halurdon, Vereesa, Shandris, characters like these come to mind who are both prominent and still very much alive.

I mean I understand Hoggerā€™s significance I, was playing back then, and the player base is what made him a prominent character as blizzard just made him to be some kind of bandit gnoll leader that you take out early on. I donā€™t think they intended him to become as popular as he became but still unless they are gonna bring him back I donā€™t see WHY he deserves his own model.

Both felt okay to me. Now if they made a fel versionā€¦ :smiling_imp:

Itā€™s because all gnolls are getting massive updates. Hogger is probably going to make periodic easter egg appearances. He might even be gnoll faction leader if gnolls become and AR (which they likely will).

. . . He is DEAD. We killed him. Alliance players ā€œkilledā€ him in vanilla then arrested him in Cata then killed him in Cata In the stockades. Heā€™s been dead for literal years and him coming back would be just . . . just dumb . . .

Because we all know characters in wow never come back to life. :joy:

He still looks like a Charr either way.

Ya wanna get technical the ones we met in shadowlands are still dead, they donā€™t get to come back to Azeroth . . . also plenty of characters have died and STAYED dead.

Just ask Arthas, MU Nerā€™zul, MU Gulā€™dan, Deathwing, Durotan, Maraad, Garithos, Daelin, the list goes on.

Accept it, Hogger is dead and unless they wanna pull some B.S story outta their bums he will remain DEAD.

Much better.
Was the old one a placeholder they neglected to label, or were they seriously planning on shipping that out?

This is itā€¦ WoW has been saved!

ALL HAIL HOGGER!

My headcanon was it was just one of his pups standing in while Hogger was getting ready

Just what a talking badger wolf would want you to think.

The Stockade

You can think what you want lmao I just donā€™t really think they gave a character new assets for just an old questline when the new zone has a gnoll faction and gnoll cosmetics and I know they canā€™t resist bringing back minor characters for funsies.

Whomst knows, but thereā€™s definitely gonna be more hogger.

You donā€™t know that, none of us do. I will say this though, bringing him back at this point would be incredibly dumb . . .

Basically screams ā€œHEY GUYS! YOU REMEMBER HOGGER RIGHT!?!!? HE WAS COOL RIGHT!?!?? REMEMBER ALL THOSE TIMES BACK IN THE DAY HUH?!?! REMEMBER!?!!? breaks down sobbingā€

Hogger is more like a very hunchback hyena with coffee and orange colors and with very green angry eyes.

Please blizzard try to make other model better. :disappointed:

I thought that was Meatballā€™s new modelā€¦

Edit: Yep, according to Wowhead.

You are absolutely right I used the wrong image.

Here is Hogger. Updated OP
