Hoggish Greedly is one of the Eco-Villains and the first villain Captain Planet and the Planeteers encounter in the series. Greedly is voiced by Edward Asner.
Biography
Like Verminous Skumm, Greedly has an animal-like appearance and tendencies, largely resembling a pig. Greedly makes reference to this himself upon occasion, comparing himself to bacon or pork, usually prompted by Captain Planet: "He can still fry our chops."
Greedly has a wild, snorting laugh, which continues on for several seconds. He also snorts and grumbles when he is afraid or panicked.
Appearance
Greedly has pink skin, small, fanged teeth, and an upturned nose. He has a thin mohawk of reddish brown hair on his head, and pointed ears. He is incredibly fat, and is often found stuffing his face with any available food. As a sign of authority abuse, Greedly wears green military fatigues with combat boots, a leather webbing belt and his uniform topped off with a black tie.
Personality
He does not appear to be very brave - once Captain Planet arrives, he often resorts to begging or pleading, usually desperate to be saved from his own plan, which has backfired. However, he throws his weight around can be very cruel, and he has attempted to harm the Planeteers on more than one occasion.
Family
Greedly has a son - Hoggish Greedly Junior. Junior has a crush on Linka in the episode Smog Hog. During this episode, Junior falls ill due to his father's polluting ways. The Planeteers convince Greedly to shut his polluting car factory down. It appears as though Greedly is not a completely unfeeling individual, willing to give up his car factory without resistance for the sake of his son's health.
Greedly descends from Don Porkaloin, who was a villain generations ago. Another group of Planeteers were forced to face him. Gaia tells this story in the episode Hog Tide.
