Ren Höek

3D Model

Marland T. “Ren” Höek is a scrawny “Asthma-Hound” Chihuahua. Martin “Dr. Toon” Goodman of Animation World Magazine described Ren as scrawny, dyspeptic and violently psychotic, who loses his mind occasionally in a cumulative process resulting in him becoming, in Goodman’s words, a “screaming klaxon, neon-pink eyes dilating into twin novae inches above his jagged, monolithic teeth.”[1] Andy Meisler of The New York Times described Ren as “adventurous”, “intelligent”, and “emotionally brittle”.[2]

Ren has a fairly long, rat-like, pink tail. However, in the first two seasons, Ren’s tail constantly disappeared and was even docked by George Liquor in the season 2 episode “Dog Show”, while getting Ren and Stimpy both ready for an upcoming dog show (even though Stimpy is a cat) although it continued to appear afterwards in the episode, as well as episodes afterwards.
