## Biography

### Before the movie

Due to his immense strength, Hugo was the leader of his pack, leading his pack in hunts for food. After several of his fellow pack members, including his mate and babies, were slaughtered by a group of humans (who had come to Turo to research life there.), he was taken over by the temptations of revenge, acting out on a perverted vision of justice, choosing to go after the humans instead of migrating down south like all the other animals and the experiments.

### *In Stitch!*

Hugo declared that they would kill off the humans' youngest, a baby named Roshan, as an act of revenge to strike back at the humans. Hugo and his most trusted assistant, Yang, plan an attack on the human camp. Hugo then ordered Yang to alert the others for an attack at dawn and he wants to eat the baby alive.

The very next morning, Hugo and his pack ambushed the camp, taking attention away from the tent in which Roshan was located in, and as planned, Yang took advantage of this and slipped in, undetected, to take Roshan, until a woman, hurried in and snatched him up before Yang could do so. Yang catches up to the woman, eventually cornering her at the edge of a cliff overlooking a huge waterfall. The woman grabs her leader's baby and leaps into the raging river several meters below before Yang could attack. Thus, the plan failed and the pack is forced to retreat. Hugo is angry at Yang's failure, but gives him another chance. He told the rest of his pack that they will go to Half Peak and orders Yang to meet them there with the baby, adding that the baby had better be alive or else he will eat Yang instead.

On the way to Half Peak, the pack stopped for the night, and Hugo sent out two from the pack, Cole and Kenneth, to deliver a message to Yang, who was accompanied by Stitch, Splodyhead, Richter, Cannonball and Yin. The message was to either come back with Roshan or to not come back at all. Yang, in response, told them to inform Hugo that he'd bring back the baby, along with the Experiments. He then told Cole and Kenneth to get everybody else ready.

After arriving at Half Peak, Hugo waited impatiently for Yang's return. Cole expressed his eagerness to get his claws on the Experiments only for Hugo to shoot him down by saying the Experiments is not to be touched until the baby is his. Cole then started reminiscing about Experiments meat, much to Inigo's annoyance. Hugo grabbed Inigo's paw when he was about to angrily hit Cole, ordering Inigo to save his energy as Experiments don't go down easy. Hugo then revealed his plan on how to take down the Experiments, using Inigo as a stand in. First, the lava-monsters would force the Experiments into a corner and cut off its retreat. And when the three lava-monsters had the Experiments trapped, Hugo would go for the throat.

After getting closer to Half Peak with the Experiments and baby, Yang once again rejoined with his pack and met with Hugo, who was beginning to get anxious about Yang, but expressed his approval at Yang's efforts. Unbeknownst to Hugo, however, Yang had joined forces with Stitch, Splodyhead, Richter, Cannonball and Yin, in his own plan to save Roshan and escape unharmed. He had already admitted to his initial plans, and the heroes had come up with an alternative plan to overcome Hugo and the other lava-monsters.

The pack had lain in wait at Hugo's orders, as they were ordered not to move until they saw the Experiments. Splodyhead came into view first, carrying what the pack presumed to be Roshan. Yang, who was trying to sabotage the attack, convinced Cole to jump out of hiding too early, essentially blowing the group's cover. Outraged by the group's disobedience, Hugo got angry and chased after them, which caught Splodyhead's attention. Splodyhead, however, knew it would happen and sped away with a bundle in his paws on a pair of skis fashioned from two large pieces of bark, to be chased by Hugo and the others until he lost his footing and dropped the bundle of clothing, which Hugo pawed at, only to find that it was a decoy made of snow. Hugo angrily ordered his pack to capture Splodyhead instead. Cole, Kenneth, Inigo indeed chased Splodyhead, only to get ambushed by Stitch, who clobbered them with a log.

Hugo then found Yang and Stitch and invited Yang to help bring Stitch down, only to find out about Yang's betrayal. Enraged, Hugo fought with Yang while Inigo and Kenneth cornered Stitch. The fight between the two was evenly matched until Hugo threw Yang into a rock, knocking him unconscious. With Yang out of the way, Hugo turned his attention over to Stitch.

Hugo prepares to leap in to kill Stitch, but Yang stands in the way by protecting Stitch and refuses to let Hugo harm his new friend. Without any second thought or regrets, Hugo strikes down and slashes Yang, severely wounding him. Before he could finish Yang, Hugo then hears Roshan's cries and notices Richter, Cannonball and Yin with the baby and, with an evil grin, closes in for the kill to have his revenge. However, then Stitch attacks him  and bites and claws while Hugo tries to get him off. Stitch tricks Hugo into crashing into a stone wall, the impact causing several sharp icicles from the top of the wall to fall onto the evil lava-monster, and impaling him. Hugo roars in pain and charges towards the experiments for a nother rund. then the ice melted and extinguished his lava light and kill him. After Hugo's death, the rest of his pack, now leaderless, flee in terror, never to return again.

## Personality

Hugo is a manipulative and bellicose predator who feels no regret or shame for slaughtering both prey and human, as well as other members of his pack, being crucified at the hands of the humans, which started his extreme hatred for them. Driven by poetic justice for his fallen comrades, he is dedicated to stalking out his victims and striking against them in revenge for those who would wrong him.

Hugo seems to show no care or thought for anybody but himself and his fellow pack members (likely due to not wanting to lose any more of them the way he was losing many others, which could be his one redeeming quality), but he has not been above flying into a rage if his pack fails their tasks. And what's more, he will not hesitate to use destructive force against those who defy him, as shown by his battle with Yang at the climax of the film.
