The Hogger Facination

Has anyone really understood why such a fascination exists? Maybe you have to be Alliance to truly understand, but I have no clue. For those of you who don't know he is a level 11 elite located in Elwynn Forest. For many people he is the first elite encountered while leveling in the area encounter. So I guess people mindless pull him and get their ass handed to them, to create the folklore. I guess kind of like I did when I first ran into Walling Caverns.

Here are a few facts about Hogger

• He has 666 health
• He started the 40 level 1 raids.
• He is a memory of the Argent Confessor
• He was voted #24 of 47 in the list of the most diabolical video game villains of all time
• His description in division 7 reads "An unbeatable 40 man raid boss in World of Warcraft"
• During Blizzcon 2009 he was the last encounter for Premonition he was buffed up to Level 80 heroic mode and they were unable to take him down.
• There is a horde guild called [Hogger Protection] made of horde that there sole purpose is to prevent hogger from being killed
• You can check "Deaths to Hogger" in your statistics

There was this video for the Rise to Power contest

So I don't understand it at all or who or what started it, but it is there...
