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

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
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.

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.
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 CZcamsrs 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
your voice for some reason is perfect for narrating Warcraft and World of Warcraft lore
I hail from durotar but even I have heard the tales of the gnoll they call hogger
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.
man after ive been binging SoD lately, this one is PERFECTLY timed. love your vids dude thanks so much for your work
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.
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.
Seriously one of the most underrated channels on CZcams. Nice work
Ballas from Warframe would be a fun addition to the villainpedia collection :)
For season of discovery they should definitely make bigger a world boss when the level cap eventually hits 60
I’m curious how many kills Hogger actually has in Wow. That number has got to be incredibly high
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!
always happy to see more WoW characters on the channel. 🖤
Please do a Villainpedia on Vesper 2 Snail, or on Iguazu. Both have rich stories worthwhile to tell.
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!
Dude I love you, please make more of these WoW Villainpedias. Happy holidays to you and your family.
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 love the Villainpedias, but I hope we get some more World or Heropedias soon!
oh yes :)
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 CZcams 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
Love the realworld folklore/story info. Werehyenas have a rich history in Africa
I always pop hard for these videos. Been a sub for about 2 years now. Love the chill style. Keep growing brother 💯
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.
The nostalgia, I could feel the hogger feeling lol thanks so much for the video
Haven't seen or heard them for ages now. Good times
A double whammy from Ghostcharm within a month? Early Christmas man
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!
One of my favorite CZcamsrs!!!! Amazing video man!
Babe wake up, new Ghostcharm just dropped
Exactly my thoughts 😂
@@leonidastsigounakis5796 memelords unite
Okay, just 5 minutes more
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
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
gnolls the 1 thats is stuck in my head is Snarl mane
LIVING IN A DOG-MAN'S NIGHTMARE - MUDDBARK, real song by an all knoll band 😂 god I love fantasy fiction
Bruh the Hogger raids were the highlight of maintenance back in the day!
Broke: “Deadmines is the first Alliance instance”
Woke: “Hogger is the first Alliance instance”
Bespoke: "Goldshire is the first Alliance instance"
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
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 your videos so much. I’m sure we’re all excited for you to return from your trip with another banger on the horizon
Did someone say "THUNDERFURY,BLESSED BLADE OF THE WINDSEEKER"?
I did not expect Hogger on this series
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?
That one prediction that I saw about Hogger was correct.
Hogger is eternal, was in Elwynn sonner on Grobulus classic server and someone posted LFG Hogger! on general chat xD
Shaco violin music from the league music documentary is PREMIUM 2:48
Imagine a timeline in which Hogger is an avatar of Yeenoghu the Beater.
Enjoy the nightmares. 😎
Love these WoWpedias. Have a good holiday Ghost
Another certified classic Ghostcharm BANGER
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
Love how you write and narrate these.
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.
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.
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.
Do a video for dwarf mains, the infamous and illusive Vagash
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
dude i’m being fed by this addition to the WoW vids
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
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
HotS Hogger is actually so fucking fun to play. Going full Crash Bandicoot in a tight corner or pathway is so satisfying.
Dude, you are literally my favorite CZcamsr
Embrace the Pain. Oh boy stories of people losing to this thing too. It's gonna be fun.
I would to see your video about Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain original game lore.
God, the memories of those level 1 hogger raids will stick with me until I die (hopefully soon, the good blood willing)
When they added him to Heroes of the Storm, they brought a little bit of life back to that dead game
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!
I have him in heartstone love the vibe of him
"Ghostcharm, King of the Fools"
LONG LIVE THE KING
Thank you for being my great fan!
"Ugh fine... I guess you are my little Hogchamp."
You single-handedly got me into WoW
me and all my homies fucking love hogger lfg!
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.
Literally FOR THE HORDE!!! never encountered this npc
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.
18:25 you can realy say you've been Gnolled... tu dum
Currently there are slightly more Nelfs than humans, presumably because you have to be one to play as DH on Alliance.
Really dig the style of your videos, man 😎🤙🏼 the concept is cool and the quality is solid! To recommend a very good villain, I suggest you do a piece on Seymour Guado from Final Fantasy X...absolutely amazing villain when you learn his whole story 🤘🏻💀 keep up the good work, sir!
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,
Can we get the main villain from fable two and the lore on what he used to try to do what he did?
Thank you for being my great fan!
"For whatever reason" as if humans don't have weapon skill passives, increased stealth detection, and rep bonuses. Humans are OP.
"Our dog hogger"
SOMEONE doesn't know about hyenas being cats...
Thank you for being my great fan!
I love how they changed Hogger from being k!lled to being arrested. That's pretty funny. I want old Blizzard back. They need to just give the entire company to Grummz.
can we get a Villianpedia on Ripto and Dr. Neo Cortex?
I remember that i once took part in a 24 man raid against Hogger. The Rules were:
- Level 1
- Be a gnome (class is whatever)
- Every death until Hogger didn't count, but as soon as you die against Hogger, it's Game Over.
...And yes we wiped, because this was only for shits and giggles.
Thank you for being my great fan!
A 26+ minute video about HOGGER? I have to watch and see how you did this...
Given how many _disgusting_ alliance players he's killed, Hogger is alright in my book
Thank you for being my great fan!
for me, it'll always be Fippy Darkpaw
The only channel on CZcams i eagerly await videos for.
Thank you for being my great fan!
I thought the title was Vanillapedia and we were going to get a series on Classic WoW lore
