Hoborg is one of the seven sons of Quater, and the creator of the Neverhood. Hoborg's name means "big heart", which can be clearly shown by his caring behavior.

Appearance[]

Hoborg is a tall and divine being, who is colored similarly to the people of the Neverhood. He has a long, thin, golden crown on his head. His head is brown colored and seems to have some sort of mouthpiece or an opening in his head, possibly indicating his mouth. His body is square-shaped, colored red, and is wide. His arms are whitish-beige with his fingers being brown and has two brown stripes on the upper part of his right arm. Under his body is a brown cylinder with a darker shaded stripe around the cylinder, and then are his legs, which start out thin and grow out to be thick, indicating his feet. The end of his feet are colored brown as well.

He has a very deep voice, which represent his peaceful and calm nature.

Summary[]

Gathering Of Klay[]

When Quater gave Hoborg clay to create a world with, rather than creating one he planned one out. Hoborg did not want to make a world and his beings out of clay, but klay. Hoborg asked Quater for something to help him get the best klay with, and Quater gave him a telescope which he could use to see across the galaxy to a mountain of klay. Hoborg started his journey and traveled day after day, year after year. One day he rested on a small piece of land, tired and frustrated, where for no apparent reason he started scratching the ground with his fingernails. After a while, he had a small pile of dirt. A worm happened to see the dirt and told Hoborg to use it to make a being. Hoborg took the suggestion and started fashioning it into a creature. This being, though, horrified Hoborg and he threw it away, hoping that his creation would die in the vast void of space. The next day, Hoborg saw Willie and Bil floating by, so he ripped out a piece of his chest, and attached it to his belt. He used this as a lasso to jump onto Willie's red roofed house. Willie healed Hoborg of his chest injury and the three set off to find the klay.

Hoborg and Bil

After a few years, they came to a mountain made of the purest klay in the universe. They collected enough klay to make a world and about 2000 people, then started their journey back. On their way back, a hungry Tickberger saw them and shouted: "Klaaaaaaaaay!". Hoborg and Willie climbed into Bil as he started running. Hoborg threw down some klay, but the Tickberger kept coming after them. Eventually, Hoborg threw down so much the Tickberger was no longer hungry. However, Hoborg only had enough klay left for a neighborhood sized world and about twenty or so beings. To reward Bil, Hoborg gave him a large blue teddy bear.

During The Neverhood[]

Hoborg created the Neverhood using the klay he gathered with Willie and Bil. However, when Hoborg was finished creating his world, he became lonely, as he was the only resident in the world (aside from Willie and Bil). Thus, Hoborg created his first being, Klogg. Klogg noticed Hoborg's crown and attempted to grab it, but Hoborg stopped Klogg, and then left for his throne room in order to create more people. While pondering in his throne, Klogg reached from above and stole Hoborg's crown. Not only did this crown give power to Klogg, but it served as Hoborg's life source, thus placing him in a dormant state. Fortunately, Willie picked up the life seed that fell from Hoborg's hand and gave life to Klaymen, who Willie hoped will stop Klogg.

It wasn't until Klaymen entered the castle and took the crown away from Klogg, placing it on Hoborg's head, that Hoborg finally awoke from his never ending slumber. He thanked Klaymen, but Klogg interrupted the two, about to stab Hoborg. In the process, Klogg stepped on his own cannon remote control, which fired the cannon and blasted him away. Later, Hoborg and Klaymen then returned to the nursery. Hoborg told Klaymen to wait outside, and then he entered the nursery, creating many more people. After a while, he finally returned, and his newly created people surrounded Klaymen before congratulating him. He then declared for everyone to goof off, and soon everyone was partying and goofing around. Soon, Hoborg realized Klaymen wasn't satisfied since Willie and Bil were killed earlier, so he revived the two in order to fix everything.
