===NeoQuest II===
This is an optional boss found in [[NeoQuest II]], the [[Haunted Woods]] part 4 of the game. 1,500 hp, high magic user with self healing, Enemy Direct Damage, Enemy Slowing, and Self Hasting. He was accused of casting a spell to make the sun stay up, but it was [[Edna]]. He is considered to be one of the hardest bosses in the game, alongside the [[The Four Faeries]], and [[King Terask]] II, due to his high magic resistance and frequent healing. However, defeating him will give a high amount of experience.

In the 2010 plot, Hubrid Nox was considered to be the main antagonist after being seen in [[Hanso]]'s flashback at the beginning of the story. In this flashback it was shown that he had bought the "artefact" from Hanso (who had stolen it from [[Xandra]]), and used it to turn all of the Faeries into stone. However, the 5th chapter of the plot comic confirmed fan speculation that Hubrid Nox was not the real culprit, after he is attacked in the woods by a lookalike. Dialogue from the step that came with Chapter 15 suggests that Hubrid Nox was killed rather than simply stunned, something already hinted at in the 5th chapter by the skull and cross bones symbol in the cloud of smoke. In the 2010 [[Advent Calendar]], this was further evidenced when [[Magax]] left a present at his tombstone. As Magax walked away, a ghostly arm reached from the grave and pulled the gift down into the ground.

The Faeries' Ruin[edit]

Hubrid was roped into Xandra's plot without his knowledge.
Main article: The Faeries' Ruin

When questioned, Hanso accused Hubrid Nox of buying an artefact from him (which Hanso himself had stolen from Xandra) and using it to petrify the Faeries. The heroes - King Altador, King Jazan, Xandra, Brynn, Hanso and an Ogrin - travelled to the Haunted Woods to confront Nox about his involvement. While most of the heroes went in the front entrance of Nox's castle, Hanso slipped in through a window and confronted Nox first.

Nox didn't seem to understand what artefact Hanso meant, but before he could be questioned further, Xandra fell over a trip wire and the castle's traps activated. Nox escaped down a secret passageway and out into the Woods. Too busy praising his own cunning to watch where he was going, Nox ran head-first into something: another Hubrid Nox. The real Nox looked up in horror, and the doppelgänger blasted him with magic.

After Faerieland fell, it was revealed that Xandra had cursed the Faeries, and had disguised herself as Nox to lay a false trail. She also confirmed that it was she who had "done away with Nox". In the chapter five plot comic and the dialogue for certain plot steps it was strongly suggested Nox had been killed - which was later confirmed in editorial #474.
