	In appearance, Nuggan is a plump but small man with a fussy moustache. The more experienced gods, such as [[Offler]], consider that no god should wear a little fussy moustache like that (see ''[[Book:The Last Hero\|The Last Hero]]''). Nuggan sets these terrible prohibitions for his worshippers, but doesn't tell them if there are any good things that they could and should do ("love thy neighbours" or such), whether they are doing a good job of living their lives. As a result, the Borogravian people are constantly worried that they are breaking some prohibitions. People have a terrible feeling that they will all end in eternal damnation.

'''Nuggan''' is one of the more powerful among the newer [[the gods|gods]] of the [[Discworld (world)|Discworld]]. He is the state god of [[Borogravia]], but also in charge of paperclips, correct things in the right place in small desk stationery sets, and unnecessary paperwork.

He is very serious about setting prohibitions, which his followers call Abominations. Nuggan thinks that a god ought to prohibit things that people truly want, so that the prohibition has real effect on people's lives. So, Nuggan sets the rules that his people shall eat neither chocolate nor garlic. This makes Borogravian citizens rather angry when finally they taste garlic and/or chocolate and find how tasty it is. For some time, devout and stern Nugganites have been policing their villages to punish people who illegally possess [[chocolate]]. There is a profitable but dangerous black market for chocolate in Borogravia (see ''[[Book:Monstrous Regiment|Monstrous Regiment]]''). Once, a nice and mild young man practically went berserk when, after tasting garlic, he had the chance to meet his god Nuggan (see ''[[Book:The Last Hero|The Last Hero]]'').

In appearance, Nuggan is a plump but small man with a fussy moustache. The more experienced gods, such as [[Offler]], consider that no god should wear a little fussy moustache like that (see ''[[Book:The Last Hero|The Last Hero]]''). Nuggan sets these terrible prohibitions for his worshippers, but doesn't tell them if there are any good things that they could and should do ("love thy neighbours" or such), whether they are doing a good job of living their lives. As a result, the Borogravian people are constantly worried that they are breaking some prohibitions. People have a terrible feeling that they will all end in eternal damnation.

Due to complicated mechanisms in belief, it seems to the Nugganites that Nuggan sets a new Abomination every few days. And so therefore he does. The [[Book of Nuggan]] (holy text of the Nugganites) is published in a large ring-binder, so that new Abominations can be appended as they are set forth by Nuggan. The Nugganites call it a ''living testament'', a holy book that truly grows.

It has now been proven that Nuggan is effectively insane. By the end of ''[[Book:Monstrous Regiment|Monstrous Regiment]]'', he has declared babies and the color blue to be Abominations.
