Hogger

Hogger is a minor villain in World Of Warcraft and one of the first elite-bosses an Alliance player can face: for this reason he has become somewhat of a legendary villain in the community due to the fact many low-levels players have fought him and died (being inexperienced with dealing with such mobs): it is jokingly claimed that Hogger is one of Warcraft's most powerful villains of all time (in reality he is one of the weakest).

Storywise Hogger is simply an abnormally large and powerful gnoll, a type of hyena/human hybrid and has been terrorising the Alliance sufficiently for Stormwind to put a bounty on his head - allowing brave groups of adventurers to go forth and hunt the monster down in order to strike a blow not only to him but his band of piratical followers that are causing problems as well.
