"Without you, I wouldn't have the chance to win again!" - Hugo (Quote)

Hugo is a penguin who only appears in "The Great Penguin Race" as the former main antagonist in the episode.

Description[]

Hugo is a larger penguin that is the same specific species as Peso. His body is larger and more sleek due to his competitive ways, and he wears a red bandana around his neck. At the top of his rounded-out head, a few dollops of feathers curl up, due to his years of sports. He is easier to tell apart from the other penguins due to his unique traits.

Personality[]

Hugo has a large ego, and he will do anything to win the Iron Clam. Though he is competitive, he can also be a good sport, as seen at the end of The Great Penguin Race. When Peso bandages his injured flipper with seaweed and helps him swim toward the finish line, he realized that winning isn't everything and it's better to be sure someone he cares about is alright. Hugo ends up offering the clam to Peso, but then it's quickly rejected.

Summary[]

According to the special, Hugo enters and wins the Iron Clam every year, mostly due to nobody else participating. He was known to win the Iron Clam for many, many years, being the most feared competitor. But in the year Peso enters it, Hugo ends up damaging his fin, and he finally ruins his win-streak. But, in the end, the penguins managed to draw anyway; Causing the clam to get split in half for both winners.

Trivia[]

  • Hugo shares some similarities with Prince Hugo from Sofia the First. They are both called "Hugo", are proud of being the best, cared a lot about winning, and reformed.
  • Even though if he is very large compared to the other penguins, he is still smaller than Captain Barnacles; Though this must be due to their species differences.
  • He also has his own chant: "Hugo, Hugo, all hear we sing, you're so good at every-thing!". He is so popular at the Iron Clam competition, that others fear the yearly competition due to Hugo's athletic skill.
