Moehog Items

The Moehog is a smooth-skinned Neopet and a quadruped, meaning it walks on four legs. It is notable for its large, curved tusks and stubby snout, as well as its floppy ears. Its tail tapers off into a thin, frayed strand, and its hooves are small but sturdy. It has a hairy crest at the centre of its head, and quite large eyes. It is a medium sized Neopet.

Moehogs originate in Neopia's mountains (probably not Terror Mountain, judging by their un-fluffy coats, there are other, smaller mountains as yet unexplored by humans, notably to the west of the Haunted Woods), where they originally worked as servants for lazy Skeiths. Their hooves are suitable for climbing and walking long distances, and they are capable of carrying heavy loads. However, they would much rather play games than work all day, and eventually left their ancestral home behind to seek a better life. They seem to like rural areas, and take pleasure in walking, jumping and playing in mud. When meeting others of their species, Moehogs will often start snorting contests and kick up dust clouds, but it's more for show than to be really intimidating. They seem to have kind hearts, and are easily moved by the plight of ownerless and homeless Neopets.

Moehogs speak in a unique language known as Moehog, which consists of a series of grunts and squeals.

The Moehog was introduced to Neopia on the 5th day of Swimming, Year Two (known to non-Neopians as July 5th, 2000). It was originally a Limited Edition Neopet, and hopeful Neopians waited at the Creation Centre for the next small batch to be released. The LE status was lifted less than two months later, however. The first Moehog was remarkably similar to the pet we know today, but had smaller ears and was portrayed in an odd crouching pose. Due to an unfortunate perspective issue, its own tusk also appeared to be poking it in the eye.

A Few Famous Moehogs

  • Agent 00 Hog is an international Neopet of mystery, but he's always got time for a relaxed game of Cheat! every now and then.
  • Judge Hog is maybe the most famous hero Moehog of them all! This powerful and valiant Neopet is the leader of the Defenders of Neopia, and strives to defeat evildoers everywhere.
  • As the name would suggest, Moehawk is a band entirely composed of Moehogs. They play the Tyrannian Concert Hall every so often; their shows feature a head-banging soloist and an odd guitar/keyboard hybrid instrument.
  • Morguss is an old Darigan witch who came up with several schemes to thwart the forces of Meridell during the two countries' bitter wars. She seems to be the mother of the Court Dancer.
  • Altador Cup fans can cheer for Moehog players "Scrap" Taggert (Team Tyrannia), Mor Gollog (Team Tyrannia) and Nitri Cassale (Team Krawk Island).
