Time for the Moro-News
~ Hoorg, Space Channel 5: Part 2.

Hoorg or Morolian Boss is a major character in the Space Channel 5 series. He is the leader and Godfather of the Morolians, the secondary antagonist of the first Space Channel 5 and a major supporting character in Space Channel 5: Part 2.

Information[]

Hoorg was the planner of the Morolian invasion and wasn’t about to outright believe the truth that Jaguar uncovered at the time.

According to his In-game Profile from the first game, he loves watching TV and his weakspot is his knees, most likely due to his weight. In Space Channel 5: Part 2, Hoorg became a news presenter for Moro-Channel 5.

Appearance[]

Hoorg is a dark purple Morolian, distinct from his brethren due to his rounder, more heavyset build. His antennae are also more bulbous on the ends. Like other Morolians, his face has a cyan (or possibly glass) screen with a red border.

His guns, unlike most main characters, have a unique design, though this model is common to Morolians as a whole. They are green, with a yellow orb on the tip.

Personality[]

Hoorg is an independent Morolian who loves television. He’s a bit lazy, almost always seen sitting on his rear. However, when he’s really needed, he will get to work on backing up what he believes is right, even if he regrets jumping right into the thick of something dangerous.

Hoorg first appears in the cutscenes that happen in-between the reports, showing Morolians discussing their plans in a mysterious location. Hoorg is the boss of the Morolians, who ultimately decides if a plan should be used or not.

Report 4: Evil in the Galaxy Revealed!

At the end of Report 3, it turns out that he and the other Morolians had been brainwashed by CEO Chief Blank of Space Channel 5. They are discussing about this news when Ulala invades their room along with Pudding and Jaguar. It's also revealed at that moment that they have been discussing their plans inside the headquarters of Space Channel 5.

Hoorg can be rescued in that moment by shooting him with the rescue beam. Hoorg will then, join forces with the heroes and assist them during the Evila boss fight. He later appears again marching to the end of the galaxy.

Hoorg presenting the Moro-News.

The humans have made peace with the Morolians and have their own broadcasting station called Moro-Channel 5.

Hoorg is the now a news presenter for a news called Moro-News. He appears in cutscenes that happen between the reporters where he talks about the Rhythm Rogues attacks and is usually interruped by Purge, who hijacks the news broadcasting signal to declare bits and pieces of his plan without giving it away entirely. Hoorg reports on Space President Peace visiting Space Park, the outstanding number of people being abducted throughout the galaxy (365,968), and the theft of various news station satellites.

Report 5: The Spies Get Revenge

The cutscene before the Report 5 will show the Moro-News studio empty, with Hoorg mysteriously absent and later Purge will appear saying that the whole Galaxy will soon dance for him.

At the report's intro (when Ulala shouts "Ulala's Swinging Report Show"), it's possible to see Hoorg following Ulala to the Mystery Zone. Later it's explained that Hoorg and Pudding have heard Pine's message sent to Ulala and they decided to come along to help.

When they meet up with Pine, the alarm goes off and they all find themselves in a trap. The level begins with a segment where Hoorg and the other heroes must copy the rhythm robots moves to escape the first trap. Afterwards, there's the second half of the trap, where they are surrounded by Dark Rhythm Robots in a dark room and must stick together and shoot at the robots so they can make it out. Hoorg covers the lower half of the screen.

After finally escaping the trap, Ulala’s team encounters Shadow who challenges them to a Battle of Bands, where Hoorg plays a unique part of the makeshift band, making odd noises for their side for his corresponding BuffBot.

Report 6: The Purge T.V. Special

"Everyone's under control!"

Hoorg and the others invade Purge's TV Show, while going down the stairs, they face Mass-produced Peace Carriers and Purge's bodyguards. Later, Hoorg is stopped by an invisible wall and is left behind along with Pudding, Jaguar, Space Michael and Pine.

During the second half of the report, Hoorg calls out to Ulala, encouraging her to continue dancing against Purge the Great. When Ulala wakes up, turns into Super Ulala and starts fighting Purge again, Hoorg appears again on Ulala's left and assists her along with the rest of the heroes at defeating Purge and freeing Peace.

Dance Dimension X finally shatters and he stands beside his fellow Morolians. With Fuse back on the scene, a final blast of collective dance energy is aimed at Purge which results with him being trapped in a giant 'P', shot off into deep space. The level ends with Hoorg, along with everyone else in the area, marching to the end of the galaxy.
