The King Pig a.k.a (The King) is the main antagonist of the Angry Birds series of games, and serves as the leader of the Bad Piggies. His grand scheme is using his minions to capture three unhatched eggs from the Birds to use as food. While he does succeed on most occasions, the Birds are able to destroy his army and retrieve the eggs, while badly injuring the King Pig.

Game appearances[]

Angry Birds[]

In the original Angry Birds, and its Chinese version, King Pig appears as an enemy, making his first appearance in the 3-21 level of Poached Eggs as a "boss", or in the fifteenth level of Tutorial in the newer versions of the game. He appears as a recurring enemy in all the following episodes of the game. During the various episodes of the game, the king steals the Angry Birds' eggs in various different ways to eat them. However, he is always defeated no matter what he does.

In gameplay, King Pig is the toughest of all the pigs, being able to survive small falls and being crushed by stone, though he can still be defeated quite easily with the toughest birds. Funnily enough, despite normally appearing as the largest enemy in the game, one level of Jurassic Pork has him in a very small size. Popping King Pig and the other pigs is needed to complete the levels. When the monarch is popped, the player will be awarded 5.000 points.

Angry Birds Seasons[]

In Angry Birds Seasons, and its Chinese version, King Pig appears as a recurring enemy, making his first appearance in a level in the 3-15 level of Trick or Treat, and appearing in all the following episodes of the game. While it was common to make him appear in the last levels of the episodes, this tradition seems to have faded away since 2014; for example, he appears as an enemy in the first level of Invasion of the Egg Snatchers, though he does not appear in the last one of said episode.

In gameplay, King Pig is an enemy that has to be popped to complete the levels. Similar to the original Angry Birds, he is the most resistant of all the pigs. In addition, it is common for him to appear wearing clothings that fit the theming of the episodes; for example, Christmas-themed episodes have him disguised as Santa Claus, while Ham Dunk and some levels of Pig Days feature him as a money-hungry businessman. However, none of these disguises protect him from any attacks. Popping King Pig and the other pigs is needed to complete the levels. When he is popped, the player will be awarded 5.000 points.

Angry Birds Friends[]

In Angry Birds Friends, King Pig is featured as a common enemy in most tournaments, as well as in Piggy Tower and the Star Cup. At first, he has his appearance from Angry Birds Chrome, though in 2020, he was given a more cartoonish appearance. In gameplay, he is an enemy that has to be popped to complete the levels, and the most resistant of all the pigs. When he is popped, the player will be awarded 5.000 points.

Bad Piggies[]

In Bad Piggies, King Pig is a secondary protagonist. At the start of the events of the game, he, Mechanic Pig, and Ross found a construction set and a telescope. With the latter, he spotted the eggs on a hill, and told Mechanic Pig to make a map to get to them. However, Ross accidentally destroyed the map, and the monarch, not satisfied with this, forced him to gather all the pieces. After the pig did so, the three went to the eggs' suppose location, only to find no eggs. Then, they looked at the telescope again, and found the eggs in another place. Just as Mechanic Pig was about to make another map, King Pig adviced him to use a piece of wood instead. Ross made the map on a box as suggested, only to find out that it was a box of TNT, which exploded and sent all the pieces flying away as King Pig looked at him in disapproval.

Later, King Pig managed to gather all the pieces of the map with the help of Ross and Mechanic Pig. They later went to the location of the eggs, only to find out that they were not there either, for the monarch's disapproval. Then, it turned out that they were fooled by Jake, Jay and Jim, who painted eggs on the telescope to make it look like there were actually eggs whenever they were looking at. Furious, King Pig started to chase after his two minions as the Blues laughed out loud behind a bush.

Some time later, King Pig realized that the cake Chef Pig had baked for him was destroyed by Ross and Mechanic Pig, who were starving at the moment. However, his two minions gave him the reformed the game, and the monarch proceeded to eat it in satisfaction.

One night, King Pig, Ross and Mechanic Pig were at the Angry Birds' nest, where the eggs were lying on as usual. Ross sneakily got one of the eggs and ran away with it to his allies. King Pig suggested to use use a vehicle to leave with it safely. After getting far enough from the birds, King Pig tried to smash the egg with a hammer. However, the latter breaks down, as it turned out that the Blues had painted egg-shaped rocks white to fool the pigs once again. Not happy with this, King Pig started to chase after Mechanic Pig and Ross.

One day, at his palace, King Pig found out that an statue was missing. To satisfy him, Ross adventured though some mountains and returned with a gigantic golden statue, surprising the monarch.

In gameplay, King Pig appears infrequently as a character the player can use for their vehicle. He occupies an area of 3x2, is very heavy, and can break down the player's vehicle quite easily due to this. In the few levels he is in, he is needed to be used to get one star. In addition, he can appear in some sandboxes as an optional object. While all of his appearances have him appearing as one standalone item, Field of Dreams has two hundred and fifty King Pigs to use.

Angry Birds Go![]

King Pig is a playable racer in Angry Birds Go!; he is the fourth opponent in 1.0.0, and the sixth one in 2.0.0. In version 1, he is unlocked within Rocky Road, though version 2 simply has a page dedicated for his unlock, as does all other characters. Like the rest of the cast, King Pig appears in 3D for the first time, which allows him to be more expressive than before. King Pig' special ability is hovering over the stage using balloons. It can be used well, but King Pig will not be able to collect coins, splat fruit, or travel very high.

Angry Birds Epic[]

Angry Birds Transformers[]

Angry Birds 2[]

In Angry Birds 2, King Pig stole the eggs once again, though he was constantly pushed by the Angry Birds. Nevertheless, he always managed to survive and get away with it.

In gameplay, King Pig appears as one of the main bosses of the game, after Foreman Pig and before Chef Pig. He is notably larger than in other games, bigger than Terence himself. He is featured in the last zone of his own boss levels, and in some of the levels in King Pig Panic. In these levels, he will have a health gauge on top of the screen that represents his health. When he is damaged, bandaids will slowly appear on his body to represent that he is injured. To defeat him, the player has to deal enough damage to him to empty his health gauge. This can be done by crushing him with strong birds and stone. The most effective birds against him are Terence and Silver, though the latter of whom has to use her ability to damage him. In addition, he will be defeated instantly when he is thrown to a bottomless pit or when he is at the far left of the screen, due to the player being unable to shoot birds to the side. When he is defeated, all other pigs will be popped, and the player will have completed the level.

As well as being a boss, King Pig appears in many profile pictures that the player will unlock as they progress through the game. Some have him in his design from Angry Birds Chrome, while others have him in his design from Angry Birds Toons.

Angry Birds POP![]

In Angry Birds POP!, King Pig was added as a boss in August 2016, replacing Gale. In gameplay, he appears in the "Defeat King Pig" levels, with some Minion Pigs. After the player manages to pop enough bubbles, King Pig will tell the Minion Pigs to shoot bubbles at random places of the screen. These can turn the bubbles into different colored bubbles covered in smoke. To defeat him, the player has to free six firefly-like creatures, similar to Stella's levels in the same game.

Trivia[]

For some reason, the cardboard King Pig can move, and do things such as laugh, smile, and blink. However, the King Pig may have designed it like that to heighten the illusion that it was real. It's also possible that the King Pig placed the cardboard cutout and escaped just before his defeat.
The King Pig is the only pig to have two ears on one side, rather than one on either side of its head. In Angry Birds (Google Chrome), all pigs share this trait due to their redesign.
In 4 Angry Birds board games, Knock on Wood, On Thin Ice Catapult Deluxe Set, and Spring Is In The Air, the King Pig's crown is removed and replaced by one of his ears.
In Mine and Dine, he appears in the final level of each world. In Mighty Hoax, if his cardboard cutout is considered real, he appears in the final level for both worlds.
In the original game, he does not appear in Mighty Hoax (all the pigs are Cardboard Cutouts) or Birdday Party.
In Angry Birds (Google Chrome), in the SD Version, the King Pig only makes the deep "hul", and "ul" sounds along with the Mustache Pig, however this does not happen in the HD Version.
In the comics, where the pigs have their own side of the story, the Pig King is occasionally a sympathetic antagonist.
The Moon Festival comic shows also that despite his greed and arrogance, the King cares for the other pigs. When he is separated from them when he goes to the moon, he is told by the Yellow Bird about how the Birds, despite bickering on occasion, still get along, because they are family, and at this the King begins to cry, missing the other pigs back home.
Ironically, the King Pig has a three-pointed crown, for as a three-pointed crown is used only for a Queen.
