Hogger

==Summary==
Hogger, chieftain of the Riverpaw pack, is a elite gnoll found atop his hill in southwestern Elwynn Forest. His defeat is the objective of a quest for low-level Alliance players.
While Hogger's significance in-game was originally minimal, his relative difficulty at such a low level has caused him to become one of the most well-known and popular minor characters in the game. His role in-game has since been expanded with Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm.
After his death at the hands of the adventurers in the Stockade, the gnoll packs in the kingdom found themselves leaderless, becoming messy and easy for the armies of Stormwind to defeat and repel.World of Warcraft: Exploring Azeroth: The Eastern Kingdoms Page 23
