Hog/Scorched are a set of characters created by Twitter user RblxTrex. They were both created on January 17th 2022.
== Overview ==
Hog is a bootleg character of a pirated copy of Sonic the Hedgehog, his appearance resembles similar characteristics to Sonic except a few key differences being a lack of a mouth and inner ear holes, side tufts on his cheeks, arms colored the same as his blue body and black colored shoes.
His appearance in this form makes him look less threatening, as his personality is completely different, he's very quiet but at the same time very innocent and affectionate.
Scorched is an alternate form for Hog, looking taller, lankier and vein-y in appearance, with dark eyes and sharp teeth being revealed. His body reveals that the clothing on his previous form is actually it’s flesh molded to look like it.
In this form his personality is very different, constantly plotting his next move with precision in mind, if he sees the opportunity to do something, he will do it. Although this form is highly aggressive in nature, he only attacks by choice, either to prolong a chase or to cause panic.
== Biography ==
An anonymous writer shared a story which involved a cartridge that they were given to by their father a few years ago when they were younger. They described their interest in how old game cartridges worked, checking lines of coding using a Devkit that they owned at the time. When they first got their hands on the cartridge, they analyzed its appearance. It looked like it had been used numerous times and stored poorly, as the sticker for the cover of the cartridge appeared to be ripped apart and old looking, as some areas looked yellow in color. The most important thing that they noticed was the title for the cartridge was missing words, only showing the word “Hog”.
With interest on what the contents of the game would provide them, they inserted the cartridge in their Mega Drive console which was attached to their computer and turned it on. As they were looking at the monitor they saw the basic things that you would see when starting up an original copy of Sonic the Hedgehog, showing Sonic running past the screen then revealing the Sega logo. As they went further on the game after pressing start on the Main Title, they noticed that the sprite for Sonic was different in appearance, showing a slightly altered version of Sonic, but with side tufts on their cheeks, arms colored the same as their body and black shoes. Confused at what they were seeing, they stopped the game and booted up the DevKit they owned and ran the game again. Curious of what the contents inside the game would show for them, they messed around with the in-game files and did some test plays. They started to notice that the game was glitching more but had no idea why, since they didn’t edit much of the files. They  continued to look around in the files to see a solution but that turned out to be useless, as the game continued to look more corrupt than it originally was.
Eventually, the game started to glitch out heavily, as Sonic’s sprite started to look more mangled, they described it as the sprite looking more lankier and creepier, interpreting what they saw, they explained it looked like it’s eyes were darkened in color and their mouth showing sharp teeth. The game started to constantly give error messages saying “ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION$000010E”, as more popped up every few minutes. Soon enough the whole monitor was filled with error messages as their computer started to run very slowly, but something happened afterwards, they said the screen started to show a face, as the more it got clearer they explained that it looked like the Sonic sprite that they saw earlier but with more detail, showing it’s tooth filled smile and their dark, soul staring eyes.
The monitor suddenly cut to black, confused on what happened, they looked around and saw smoke coming out of the cartridge. It fried the cartridge, making it unusable.
== Abilities/Weakness ==
=== Abilities ===
* Hog/Scorched can teleport when walking around areas where nobody is looking at him. He could be far away from you but when you turn around a corner, he's suddenly there.
* When Scorched is glitching, he can basically float and no-clip through surfaces, making walled off spaces useless.
* Scorched can stretch his limbs farther to catch their victims mid chase.
* Scorched can make their victims glitch their body, scrambling their body parts in random areas.
* Scorched can manipulate body temperature to the point that can incinerate anyone who touches him.
* Hog can manipulate objects in any way such as duplication, telekinesis or revert its original position and state.
* Hog can alter his appearance and mimic another EXE, although it doesn’t fully copy the abilities that the original EXE has.
=== Weaknesses ===
* Hog’s own ability to glitch is highly unstable, meaning that sometimes his abilities don't work.
* Hog is very gullible, any lies that you give him, he will sometimes take it as truth.
* Hog can get shocked if thrown water at him, although it only happens if he is mid glitching.
* Scorched’s eyes are very sensitive, meaning if flashing light on it’s eyes will blind him for a period of time.
== Trivia ==
* Hog’s original design was supposed to have teeth underneath their eyelids, but eventually that changed for it to be hidden beneath their chin.
* Hog’s thick eyeliners exist due to SolarDaily sketching Hog’s most recent design but keeping their original design’s eyes.
* Hog’s side tufts were inspired by Lord X’s side tufts.
* Hog’s mouth originally was supposed to split into two mid-transformation, but that was scrapped because his transformation barely shows much.
* Hog does have a mouth, but it doesn’t show too often.
* Scorched’s hands have 5 fingers, but the ring and middle fingers are merged into one, making it look like he has 4 fingers.
* Scorched’s eyes are black because their pupils are very dilated.
* Hog was supposed to be just a FNF concept, but eventually was turned into its own EXE.
