He is a powerful warlock who is served by an army of [[Ghost]] [[Neopet]]s he raises from the dead. He was apparently killed during [[The Faerie's Ruin]] plot, but [http://www.neopets.com/winter/advents_past.phtml?year=2010&day=13 may yet survive on as a ghost]. He lives in [[Castle Nox|a castle]] in the [[Haunted Woods]]. | ||
He is the antagonist of the [[game]]s [[MAGAX: Destroyer]] and its remake [[MAGAX: Destroyer II]], and is described as the mastermind behind [[Hubrids Hero Heist]]. | |||
Hubrid' | Hubrid is credited with the invention of the weapons ''[[Hubrids Noxious Blade]]'', which does extra damage to [[Lupes]]; and ''[[Hubrids Puzzle Box]]'', which are available from the [[Hidden Tower]]; and ''[[Hubrids Odial Sphere]]'', which has been retired from the Hidden Tower. ''Hubrids Noxious Blade'' can be combined in the [[Cooking Pot]] with the ''[[Carrotblade]]'' to make a ''Noxious Carrotblade''. | ||

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. | |||
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 - [[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. | |||
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 . | |||
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. | |||
