Appearance
In a sillhouse flashback, Dr. Hogback was skinny and normal. However, the current Hogback's body is heavy-set. He used to wear standard doctor's clothing but now he wears a fishnet vest, leather pants, and a pair of sharp, creepy gloves. His nose resembles the beak of a penguin. He has fangs, and his mouth is a permanant smile along with a scar that starts from one corner of the smile, goes above his eyes and ends at the other side of his mouth. He also wears a pair of very small black sunglasses, and his hair is long and wild-looking, but apparently resembles a cape with slit in the middle.
