Biography[]

Captain Hoggbottom appears to be one of the police officers with close ties to the ZPD, particularly Chief Bogo. At the start of the film, Hoggbottom was present at a meeting hosted by Chief Bogo to strategize over taking down smuggler Antony Snootley, only for Judy and Nick to go rogue to try and arrest him themselves. Bogo inadvertently blew their cover over the radio, prompting Antony to flee. In the ensuing car chase, Hoggbottom took point and ordered Judy and Nick to stand down, but the chase soon turned chaotic, resulting in the destruction of Ebenezer Lynxley's statue. Everyone then returned to Precinct One, where Hoggbottom, along with the other cops, complained to Bogo over Judy and Nick's actions. When Judy and Nick were called into the office, Judy tried to explain she found evidence that a snake was smuggled into Zootopia but was ignored. Judy then tried quoting regulations that justified their actions, but Hoggbottom retorted that neither of them were lead officers and stated that they are just "one hit wonders" should be demoted back to their old jobs. Nick then proceeded to mock Hoggbottom, who began to squeal furiously, only for Bogo to shut her down and ordered everyone but Judy and Nick out of his office so he could deal their punishment. Hoggbottom was later present at Lynxley Manor after Gary De'Snake abducted Milton Lynxley. She happened on the scene only after Gary accidentally fanged Bogo and spotted Judy seemingly attacking the incapacitated Chief with one of Gary's fangs. Falling for Kitty Lynxley's lie that Judy and Nick were in league with Gary, Hoggbottom attempted to arrest them, but all three suspects managed to escape. Hoggbottom later lead the task force to find and arrest Judy and Nick on orders of Mayor Winddancer, who was under pressure by Milton. Hoggbottom and her task force tracked the fugitives to Marsh Market. Despite flushing them out of the Reptile Hangout, Judy and Nick managed to escape again by taking the Red Line water tube out of the city. Hoggbottom would continue to pursue them to the Honeymoon Lodge, having determined their location upon finding the shattered remains of the Carrot Pen, and sent her two goat officers to scale the cliff to arrest them. In the resulting altercation, the lodge split in two and Nick was captured while Judy got away with the aid of Gary and Pawbert Lynxley. As Winddancer attempted to interrogate Nick, who suggested he trying pulling her out of his hat, Hoggbottom piped in that the fox was messing with him, to which the mayor pridefully insisted he knew that. The next day, Hoggbottom tracked Pawbert's phone and led her people to Sahara Square near the Weather Wall. Giving pursuit once more through the Burning Mammal festival, Hoggbottom was contacted by Milton, who ordered her to shoot Judy with a poisonous dart. The moment she hears this, she becomes appalled that Milton gave her an order to execute a former officer in broad daylight, and she refuses to pull the trigger even when the lynx angrily ordered her to do it. When she accidentally shot the dart, she can only watch in horror as it is about to hit Judy—until it misses thanks to the timely intervention of Nick, Nibbles, and Flash. With Judy, Gary, Pawbert, Nibbles and Nick entering the Weather Wall, Hoggbottom was then unable to pursue as the wall started to engage. Hoggbottom and Truffler later arrive in Reptile Ravine, the former knocking out crazed Pawbert with a frying pan after he attempted to burn down the town. The group then triumphantly emerged from the hidden town to meet the press as it became publicly known that the Lynxleys took credits for Agnes De'Snake's designs, resulting in the whole family's arrest.
