“Ho Ho Ho,” notwithstanding, he was not a personification of many words. When he was able to resume his role, the Hogfather seemed to salute Death as an equal. It is no small thing to make the Sun rise. Despite his apparent task of distributing presents in the season of goodwill, sustained by the belief of children, on the longest night of the year it is still the role of the Hogfather to ensure that the Sun rises in the morning (comparable to Teppic’s dynasty). It was to this point that he retreated when ambushed by Mr Teatime. His first form was properly speaking porcomorphic, or pig-shaped. He had many forms throughout the centuries, and the man in the red suit was only the last of them. In response to this question, the anthropomorphic wossname called the Hogfather arose. The voice of reason says it will rise, but there are many unreasonable voices in a person. In the land of pine trees and deep snow and long winters, when the sun is below the horizon most of the day, in the piercing cold it can become a real question whether or not the sun will rise again in the morning. He parodies the Roundworld Father Christmas (the UK version of Santa Claus) But you always got a pink sugar piglet in the toe. The only difference in the Hogfather in that time seems to have been that he did not bring presents, but sausages and black puddings if you were lucky. The Hogfather is an ancient being, who has seemingly kept his present form for some time in Hogfather, Albert reminisces about his childhood memories of the Hogfather, more than 2000 years ago. His residence is the Castle of Bones near the hub. Despite this impressive range, crass commercialization of the holiday compromised the belief in Hogfather, and then interference from the Auditors of Reality severely threatened his existence (chronicled in Hogfather). Nowadays, the Hogfather is expected to travel in a sleigh pulled by hogs and every Hogswatchnight to bring gifts to all the children, or at least, those who believe in him this yields a worshipper range of most of the Discworld except for the Counterweight continent and the continent of Klatch. In the deep winters, people of old feared that spring might never again come, so they gave bloody sacrifice of hogs to the Hogfather. The Hogfather is originally a winter god.
