Hognob is one of the two deuteragonist (alongside Goona) of Aardman's 7th feature film Early Man.
His vocal sound effects were provided by Nick Park (who also directed the movie, including Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run, and Creature Comforts).
Overview[]
Like a dog, Hognob is very communicative, and though he doesn’t talk, like all faithful companions he manages to make his feelings known with an emphatic growl or a well-timed roll of his eyes.
Appearance[]
He's a wildboar with peach skin and orange fur and of course has a pork tail.
Role in the film[]
Dug along with the chief Bobnar, many other cavemen such as Asbo, Gravelle, Treebor, Magma, Barry, Grubup, Thongo, and Eemak, and his pet boar Hognob. One day, Dug suggests to Bobnar that they should try hunting woolly mammoths instead of rabbits as they always do, but Bobnar brushes him off, believing the tribe could not catch mammoths. Dug and Hognob sneak into the Bronze Age city to steal more balls but are found by a 25-year old resident named Goona. Hognob takes his place and blocks a penalty kick, and Dug scores using a bicycle kick to win the match for the cavemen, 4–3.
Trivia[]
- Like Gromit, Philip, Bitzer & Fluffles, he is a pet.
- He is a wild boar but also resembles a Mangalitsa pig, a Hungarian breed of pig.
