{{main|NeoQuest II}}
Hubrid Nox appears in Act IV, on the ninth level of [[Nox's Fortress]]. He has 1,500 HP and can heal himself. He has skills in Enemy Direct Damage, Enemy Slowing, and Self Hasting.  
Hubrid Nox is an optional boss in the Haunted Woods portion of Neoquest II.  He, along with [[Balthazar]] and the [[Spider Grundo]], was placed under a mind-control spell by [[Edna]].  While under Edna's influence, the he was forced take part in the casting of a spell that locked the sun in place, creating eternal day in the Haunted Woods.  Hubrid was freed from the mind control spell after he was defeated by [[Rohane]] and company at the top of his fortress. After regaining his senses, Hubrid revealed that Edna was the mastermind behind the eternal day spell. He then decided to let Rohane punish Edna for him and told Rohane where Edna could be found.


Rohane and his party visited Nox because he was accused of casting the spell that made the sun stay up. After he is defeated, he becomes an NPC and says he was freed from a spell that enthralled him. He reveals that it was [[Edna]] who cast the spell to keep the sun up.


Although Nox provides some explanation to the act's plot, he and his fortress can be entirely skipped by the player.

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]], [[Jazan]], [[Xandra]], [[Brynn]], [[Hanso]] and an [[Ogrin (The Faeries' Ruin)|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.

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". It is strongly suggested that the real Nox was killed: the skull and crossbones depicted in chapter 5 hinted at this, and the dialogue used in the ninth plot step suggest that Hanso at least believes he is dead. This belief was reinforced by the [[Advent Calendar]] animation for the 13 December 2010, where [[Magax]] visited Hubrid's grave and left him a present. As Magax walked away, a ghostly arm reached from the grave and pulled the gift down into the ground.

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.
 
TNT later confirmed Nox's death in [http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=474 Editorial 474].
