Biography[]
Creation[]
According to Maurice, he was born in the Archean eon during the Earth's formation, when a Giant Alien had sex with the planet, which caused a bunch of lakes and lava pools to start forming. A volcano blasted a bunch of fireballs into a lake, which caused them to start bubbling. From that bubbling water, rose Maurice the Hormone Monster. This story was told in "Requiem for a Wet Dream" but it's not likely that this is true. This would mean that Maurice is the same age as the Earth, although he claimed to be 70,000,000+ years old, which isn't very close to when the Earth started forming.
Romantic Life[]
Maurice met Connie somewhere during the early ages of Earth. It is unknown how old Connie is or when exactly they first met but it had to have been over 280,000,000 years ago, as they shared their first kiss during the Pangaea era.
It was mentioned in "The Head Push", however, that he and Connie had their first kiss during the beginning of the Ice Age, when "the dinosaurs left on their spaceships".
Career[]
Around 7,000,000 years ago, Maury started working as a hormone monster for human men.
Current Life[]
He is currently Andrew's hormone monster that he constantly talks to. He mainly appears whenever Andrew is horny, or just needs someone to talk to about being horny or sex. As mentioned in "My Furry Valentine", Maury first appeared in Andrew's life, when he was watching the movie Must Love Dogs and got his first boner from seeing Diane Lane in a revealing spaghetti strap dress. He also serves as Matthew's hormone monster as we first hear mention of in the episode "Am I Gay?" but don't fully see in action until "My Furry Valentine".
In "Ejaculation", Maury first made his debut when she showed up during Andrew's health class to antagonize him with a boner and force him to leave in the middle of class to go jerk off in the bathroom, which Andrew didn't really want. This must have been early on in Andrew's adolescent journey because at this time, Andrew refused to believe that Maury actually existed and thought of him as just a figment of his imagination. Andrew had a sleepover at his best friend, Nick's house and while there, Maury convinced Andrew to jerk off, while sleeping right next to his friend. Andrew felt very dirty about doing this, especially as he was jerking off his Nick's grandmother's grandfather clock and imagining it as his dad's assistant, Susan, but Maury pushed him to do such a thing. Andrew jizzed his sheets and asked Maury for help cleaning it but Maury fucked him over and left, telling him to sleep in it and called him a sick fuck. At Bridgeton Middle School, Andrew and Nick got mad and fought with each other. Maury fueled Andrew's rage and got him to cuss out Nick and unfriend him in front of everybody. At the school dance, Maury convinced Andrew to dance with his love interest, Missy but pushed him to get some friction going and made him cum his pants with her. Missy didn't know what was going on but Andrew had to rush to the bathroom and wash his pants in the toilet out of embarrassment. Maury, as usual, didn't help him but Nick came in and after hearing what happened, lent him his own pants to wear. Nick went back to the dance in his underwear so that Andrew could finish his date with Missy, signifying that their friendship was back on. That night, they had another sleepover just like old times. Somehow, Nick was able to see Maury come into the room, despite him not being his hormone monster. Nick learned about Maury and after being mistaken for a puberty fairy, Maury told him that he was Andrew's hormone monster, explained his deal, and gave Andrew a nocturnal emission.
In "Everybody Bleeds", Maury tormented Andrew as usual, telling him to tell Nick to send a dick pic to Jessi, telling him to sit next to Missy, after reminding him about how he jizzes his pants at the school dance, telling Andrew to get mad at Nick again for ditching him, and also making some really weird comments about girls having periods after Andrew witnessed what happened to Jessi that day.
In "Am I Gay?", Maury was paged when Andrew got a boner from watching The Rock and assumed this meant he was gay. To ensure this was true, Maury gave Andrew a gay test and the results came up positive. Andrew was gay. Maury tried to get Andrew into watching internet porn and led to his computer getting spammed. Maury revealed that he had a past, working as a fellow rock star of Joe Walsh. When Nick and Andrew kissed, Andrew felt nothing, meaning that he wasn't gay after all but Maury insisted that Andrew to try pin Nick to the ground and rape him.
In "Sleepover: A Harrowing Ordeal of Emotional Brutality", Maury went with Andrew to Jay's house for a sleepover and when Jay told the detailed story of how he has sex with his pillow, Maury was amazed and saw him as somewhat of a genius, writing down this sexual experience for himself. During the sleepover, Nick punched Andrew in the face and have him a nosebleed and Maury got extremely enraged and got glowing red eyes and demanded Andrew to beat the hell out of Nick. This episode was the first time when Maury broke the fourth wall, asking the audience if they were binge-watching the show. He reminded them of a running gag from the previous episode and gave them a taste of what's in store for the next episode. Maury needed Andrew to press his nipple as the start button for the video game where they escape the house. After escaping the house, Maury revealed to Andrew that he stole The Italian Stallion from Jay's abusive brothers, Val and Kurt and they kept it for themselves.
In "Girls Are Horny Too", Maury apparently figured out for the first time ever that girls were just as sexually promiscuous as boys are, which came as such a surprise to even a long-time hormone monster such as himself, that his head exploded. Maury joined Andrew, Nick, and Jay on their adventure in learning more about this subject and strongly admired Jay's dedication to figuring this phenomenon out but as usual, only Andrew was capable of directly responding to anything Maury said or did.
Appearance[]
Maury has somewhat of a heart-shaped head with brown hair covering it everywhere except for the face. He has bushy eyebrows and green eyes. His entire body is brown and he has hair covering both his forearms and his lower body. He has a tail that looks like one of a deer or a rabbit and has dark green hoofs. His nose is also shaped like a penis. He, along with Rick, are the only hormone monsters with a dull color palette.
Personality[]
Maury embodies the chaotic, uninhibited energy of puberty in a comedic and exaggerated form. He serves primarily as the hormone monster for males, though he occasionally advises others, offering over-the-top encouragement for impulsive behavior, especially related to sex, aggression, and self-indulgence. Despite his crude language and often inappropriate suggestions, Maury represents a metaphorical voice of adolescence—unfiltered, instinct-driven, and hormonally charged. His personality is loud, brash, and unashamedly vulgar, often using humor and outrageous antics to reflect the confusing and overwhelming nature of teenage development. However, beneath his bombastic exterior, Maury shows moments of genuine care and loyalty toward the kids he mentors, particularly Andrew Glouberman, whom he often supports through emotional turmoil, even if his methods are unorthodox. His relationship with Connie also reveals a more vulnerable, complex side, especially in later seasons where he confronts themes of fatherhood and commitment.

These are mythological creatures with the appearance of men with tails and ears of donkey or goat, small horns on the forehead, flat noses, thick lips, goat legs. In Greek legends, satyrs often attempt to seduce or rape nymphs and mortal women alike, usually with little success. They are also sometimes shown masturbating or engaging in bestiality. Two things that Maury is all about.
