Moehog Day Special

Moehog day
by kateb_21

There was a little Moehog
and his name was Terrazoo.
He loved to visit Neopia,
as there were so many things to do!

But one day when poor Terrazoo 
was in Neopia central,
he passed a Shoyru who was looking
ever so judgmental.

Terrazoo was wondering why, 
so he called out 'Hello?'
The Shoyru turned to look at him and then turned up her nose.

"Hmph! Moehog day! A waste of time, 
that's what it seems to me!
Moehogs are so boring, bland,
and ugly, unlike me!"

Terrazoo stopped to look at her,
and much to her disgrace,
his eyes creased and his cheeks rose up
with a smile across his face.

"You can't have studied well at school,"
he said, chuckling a lot,
"as if you had, you'd know of all the
talent Moehogs have got!

There's 00 hog, a champion
of any game he plays, 
and Morguss who battled Meridell troops
back in the olden days.

Judge Hog, a superhero
and the head of the defenders-
so powerful and strong that everyone
he finds surrenders!

And then there is my favourite band
Neopia has around-
Moehawk, the Moehog trio,
they make the most amazing sound!

We may not be the prettiest,
or as 'popular' as you,
But we're talented, we're strong,
and we're ever so fun too!

That's why we need Moehog day-
to remember all this stuff.
Moehog's are small in numbers,
but we're smart, we're brave, we're tough!"

Moehog Archer Outfit
by indulgences

She slips through forest glades with ease.
She makes no errant noise.
Her footsteps leave no muddy trace.
She walks with quiet poise.

Her Bow and Quiver on her back,
She hunts her unknown prey.
She wants to grace her table with
A prize by end of day.

The Mask and Cloak upon her head
Are greenest camouflage.
They blend into the forest trees,
A grassy, green mirage.

The Shirt upon her torso is
A tunic, soft and light.
Its fabric makes no sound at all,
As silent as the night.

And finally, the Skirt is short,
And won’t impede her stride.
Her legs are long, her steps are broad.
She very nearly glides.

The Moehog Archer is a miss
Whose hunting skills are fine.
She’s sure to catch her prey tonight,
Upon which she will dine!

Morguss the Moehog Witch
by drgnswor

Morguss twiddled her thumbs - ever deep in thought.
The echoing whispers of spells haunted the air...
The encapsulating aroma of potions in a pot...
Scamander tail, Pinanna root, and Uni hair.

Once she dutifully dedicated her services to Lord Darigan,
But shifted during the epic Battle for Meridell,
For then she lent her special set of skills and brain,
To Kass, the new reigning Lord of Darigan Citadel.

The shift happened when she saw Lord Kass’ potential.
He brought strength and decisiveness to the fold.
Treacherous, perhaps, but the same level of evil;
Morguss marvelled at the power Lord Kass controlled.

She created her own daughter into The Court Dancer,
To hypnotize King Skarl and take his throne.
The old Green Moehog had put all her hopes on her;
This precious child sent on a mission alone.

Never in her wildest dreams did she expect her plans to be foiled.
That Aisha, Lisha, who undid all of her hard work!
With her daughter gone and carefully planned scheme spoiled,
She was worried the Lord would go berserk.

Without missing a beat, she suggested a new ploy:
Zombify the peasants and Petpets to descend upon Meridell in droves!
In sheer numbers they shall overwhelm when deployed,
For this to happen she needed only Red Sardplant and cloves.

To complement that she also cast Nova storms,
To set the defence strongholds on fire and cause chaos everywhere.
While the zombies attacked on the ground in swarms...
Morguss merely watched from her crystal ball in her lair.

Moehog Admiration Day
by icysnowe

Moehogs are a familiar Neopet to us all,
Their unique hairstyles stand stiff and tall.
In contrast, their build is short and stout,
Unmistakable when paired with those tusks and snout.

Blessed with eyes both wide and round,
And hooves that trod lightly on the ground.
Their floppy ears make for keen listening,
And their wispy tails are cuter than anything.

Other than their interesting appearance,
There is much to admire about these Neopians.
Not the most approachable at first glance,
Their kindness can change hearts within seconds!

So get to know a Moehog friend,
And let it be known that you admire them.
On this very special Moehog day,
Let's spread love and joy in every way!

An Ode To Agent 00 Hog
by starishblue

Behold Neopians, it's Moehog Day,
The celebrations must not delay!
Clap your hooves and shout hooray,
The snorting contest's underway!

A stoic face, an alluring charm,
And nerves of steel to boot.
It's the legendary Agent 00 Hog!
And his big and bountiful loot.

A past so shrouded in mystery
His name? Does anyone know?
But none can question his mastery
of Cheat! - a formidable foe.

"My wit and smarts, a great display
Lie and cheat, you say?
Oh no, my dear, I love fair play
There is no other way. *winks*

Three Fours? Well, that's odd, you see
There's just no fooling me!
Alas, I do love Moehog Day
So I'll let you slide today."

The Maraquan Moehog
by miraday

A kelp forest quietly sways beneath;
The brine’s waves cling to sea foam.
The surface world is none the wiser
Of the Maraquan Moehog’s home.

Below the refractions of sunlight
In the topmost layer of the ocean,
Resides a Moehog blue as azurite
And elusive in his aquatic dominion.

He feeds among the seaweed
Before napping betwixt the reefs;
He paddles down into the deep
Mesopelagic zone unseen.

The new city of Maraqua gleams—
Like a jewel among the abyss.
However, it is the Moehog’s belief
That he is suited to the sea cliffs.

The aquatic Moehog shrouded by
Kelp forestry remains to be known.
The bountiful ocean brims with life,
But he is unbothered on his own!

Ode to Moehawk
by prettyobscure

I heard Moehawks invented leather jackets,
I heard Moehawks are the whole punk rock package,
I heard a Moehawk gathering is called a "racket,"

Just look at those Moehogs!
Just look at their style - so unorthodox!
Just look at them on stage - their music rocks!

I heard the guitarist writes poetry,
I heard the drummer studies psychiatry,
I heard the keytarist is friends with the Space Faerie!

Just look at them: they're out of this world!
Just look at them: how their tusks are curled!
Just look at them: more precious than pearls!

If you've heard Moehawk play,
If you've heard them and they've made you dance and sway:
I want to hear you say: Happy Moehog Day!

In Praise of Judge Hog
by inplainsight

No one's better than the Defenders
They take down all the offenders!
They'll help you if your house is haunted
You better bet they're never daunted!

Who could be this brave group's leader?
Only one of all the contenders:
Judge Hog, the vaunted!

He's been saving pets since his youth
rescued over a thousand, Fyora's honest truth!
And does this hero ask for thanks?
The answer is no point-blank!

Judge Hog is brave, strong, and true.
If he takes a bruise or loses a tooth -
that doesn't matter, he'll tell those criminals to stop their pranks!

Look at his muscles and gleaming tusks,
quite the sight when he unmasks!
If you ever feel like you're just a cog,
that you could do more - call Judge Hog!

You could work for the Defenders too
helping them out with all their tasks
If you do well you'll hear his victory monologue!

To talk to a Moehog who knows what's best -
who will rid Neopia of any pest -
the superheroic swine -
the only one with his own zine! -
call Defenders of Neopia at 999-9999!

A Mutant Moehog Speaks of His Tusks
by symbolism

My tusks, they may not shine;
they may not glimmer in the sun.
They may hold tight to the day's grime,
but I know that when the day is done

that I have lived; my tusks have felt it all:
Turgid swamp water, eerie and green,
The bite of winter, the chill of fall,
the thickest mud you've ever seen.

Still, my tusks have seen beauty, don't you know?
They have carried blossoms, still pink and new.
They have boasted of rain, shelved the snow,
snagged snatches of sun, the sky's deep blue.

My tusks, they may not inspire the awe
of a Kougra's sleek fur or a Uni's soft mane.
But let me tell you, I embrace every flaw,
and I encourage you to do the same. 

Because my tusks, they have grown with me.
Look: you'll see in ivory many years.
In them, I find my strength, my identity.
For with my tusks, what is to fear?

Celebrate the Moehog !
by owlandtanager

Many stories of Moehogs have been told,
As species come, they are quite old !
I remember seeing their faces, hidden by tusk
That wraps around their nose, and must
I add, their eyes are charming, too
Looking around for something to do !

They come in nearly every colour,
From basic red to island for summer,
Pink, white, and mutant to boot,
Which some find scary, but is sort of cute.
Whatever you do, however you celebrate,
Consider that Moehogs are pretty great !

Do you know a Moehog, or own one as a pet?
It's their special time, don't let them forget!
Bake a Moehog Cake with strawberry cream,
Give them a day better than they ever dreamed.
This Moehog day, try not be stricken with Woe,
Appreciate these friends a little Moe !
