Marlin T. Höek, or mainly known as Ren Höek, occasionally Ren Hoëk, is a fictional character from the Nickelodeon series The Ren & Stimpy Show, and Spike series Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon". He is one of the main title characters and serves as the main protagonist/antagonist in the series. He first appeared in the pilot episode "Big House Blues".

Overview

Ren is a scrawny 17 year old "Asthma-Hound" Chihuahua with a fairly long, rat-like, pink tail (which disappears constantly to the point of it not being seen in the later series).

Apparently it may be of Mexican origin, obviously for the breed of dog it is. (Chihuahua)

Personality

Ren is portrayed as being greedy, insane, delusional, paranoid, violent and insecure (in short, mentally unstable). Whenever Ren's upset he lashes out his anger on his best friend Stimpy usually by simply slapping him in the face, or by brutally beating him up.

Biography

He has a Swedish cousin named Svën Höek, a plump, idiotic chihuahua who is very similar to Stimpy. In the Spümcø era of The Ren and Stimpy Show and Adult Party Cartoon, Ren is voiced by John Kricfalusi in "a bad imitation of Peter Lorre." In the Games Animation era of the Nickelodeon series, Ren is voiced by Billy West using a combination of Burl Ives, Kirk Douglas, and a slight "south of the border accent", after John Kricfalusi and the others at Spümcø were fired. West also did Ren's maniacal laughter, throughout the series (including when John Kricfalusi did Ren's voice).

Relationships

Stimpy

The Ren & Stimpy Show

Though rude to him at the most part, Ren has been shown to like Stimpy as a friend on some occasions. Their relationship started out with Ren always picking on Stimpy and usually beating him up whenever he made Ren upset, but as the series progressed Ren didn't pick on Stimpy so often anymore and call him an "Eediot" on a regular basis like he always did during the shows early years.

Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon"

In this variation of the series he and Stimpy are seen as a couple; however, Ren does not seem to see Stimpy as a partner, but as a friend (as mentioned in the episode Ren Seeks Help).
