Hovar is an minor character from the 1983 animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
Hovar was appointed to be Eternia's Royal Historian by King Randor. Part of his job was to investigate the ancient ruins of Selkie Island, which had once housed a rich civilisation that had somehow fallen and disappeared without a trace. Hovar set up camp together with his son, Justin. Soon the pair of them found themselves having to fend off the dangerous creatures that roamed the island.
Hovar sent a distress call to Man-At-Arms, who build a Variable High-frequency Oscillator (VHO for short) that emited a high frequency annoying to most animal lifeforms. Teela and Prince Adam, aided by He-Man, managed to transport the VHO across the Crystal Sea just in time for Hovar and Justin to be saved. Once the VHO was installed on various strategially placed poles all around the explorer's camp, father and son could continue their archeological studies in peace and savety.
