Hoggle is a supporting character in Labyrinth, and becomes a loyal friend of Sarah's after he defies his master Jareth to accompany her on her quest. Hoggle was voiced by Brian Henson, and performed by Shari Weiser.
Role In The Film
Hoggle is the first creature Sarah encounters in the labyrinth upon her arrival. Hoggle is gruff and ill tempered and is unhelpful when Sarah first approaches him. He is first seen spraying faeries with a spray can repellent, his apparent cruelty horrifying Sarah. Hoggle has been expecting Sarah, and wearily comments ‘that’s what I thought’ when Sarah introduces herself.
Hoggle is eventually revealed to be in Jareth's employ, and is tasked by him with taking Sarah back to the beginning of the Labyrinth when she becomes trapped in an Oubliette. Sarah is able to manipulate Hoggle into taking her 'as far as he can' through the Labyrinth by promising him she will give him her plastic bracelet, however they are then confronted by Jareth who intimidates Hoggle for his disobedience.
After they escape from the Oubliette Sarah tells Hoggle he is her only friend in the Labyrinth, a comment that appears to genuinely surprise him. After Hoggle abandons Sarah out of fear, he is cornered by Jareth who orders him to give Sarah an enchanted peach. Jareth bullies Hoggle during their encounter, telling him that Sarah couldn’t possibly consider a creature such as him a friend. Jareth tells Hoggle that if Sarah ever kisses him, he will make him prince of the land of stench. Although wracked by guilt and indecision, Hoggle ultimately does as he is told and gives Sarah the peach. He is guilt stricken and flees to the Junk City alone to contemplate what he has done.
Hoggle redeems himself at the end of the film by saving Sarah, Ludo and Sir Didymus from the giant robot Humongous, jumping onto the robot from above and disabling it. Sarah forgives Hoggle for his betrayal, and he helps her reach the Goblin King's castle. At the end of the film, Hoggle appears in Sarah mirror and is summoned into her room along with various other creatures from the Labyrinth to celebrate her victory.
