Corporal Pig

Corporal Pig, (formerly known as Helmet Pig and sometimes known as Armor Pig) (as in Angry Birds Toons revealed in the end credits of "Where's My Crown?"), is a Medium Pig that wears a stone helmet for stronger defense. It is the third strongest pig variety in the game, and serves as the chief enemy in the first set of levels in each theme. It also serves as a protector to King Pig. Corporal Pigs are very much alike to Moustache Pigs in game ways, not actual looks but in strength. They have bosses: Herr Helmet (Poached Eggs), Hovering Helmet (Danger Above), Hardhat Hidalgo (The Big Setup), Billy the Pig (Ham 'Em High), and Cave Explorer (Mine and Dine). The Corporal Pig first appears in Poached Eggs Theme 1-21.

Trivia

 * Corporal Pig and Postman Pig are the only pigs that don't display their ears.
 * Along with the other Pigs, the design for Corporal Pigs have changed in the Angry Birds Chrome Beta. They have shinier helmets with buckles on them.
 * In the Chrome version, the Corporal Pig's helmet may be made of metal, as the helmets are shiny and can be dented.
 * The Corporal Pig plush is the only Pig that is all beat up and in its corpse.
 * The helmet the the Corporal Pig is wearing resembles a Nazi German helmet used during World War II.
 * In new animations, like Wreck the Halls and Ham'o'ween, the belts can be seen wrapped around the helmets of the Corporal Pigs.
 * As shown in the Ham 'o' Ween and Wreck the Halls animations, the Corporal Pigs hold giant butter-knives and forks. It is possible that these giant pieces of silverware and kitchen utensils are weapons of choice for the Corporal Pigs in the animations.
 * The Corporal Pig also holds chopsticks in the Year of the Dragon animation. It's a possibility that it is a weapon of choice for the Corporal Pigs in China because the Corporal Pig used them to make the audience of Bad Piggies applause during the puppet show.
 * In the Year of the Dragon animation, the helmet of the Corporal Pig is different. It has a different shape, gold bearing at the bottom, no buckle, and a feather on top of the helmet.
 * One of the Corporal Pigs appears as a teacher in the "Meet the Pink Bird" animation. He reveals in his plan written on his chalk board that after he gives King Pig the eggs, King Pig gives him a medal for succeeding his plan.
 * In the Angry Birds Toon, "Where's My Crown?", in the cast section of the episode's end credits, the Corporal Pig is named the "Corporal Pig". It was revealed again in the end credits for "Another Birthday". This could mean that for every end credits in an Angry Birds Toons episode that features the Corporal Pig, the Corporal Pig will always be called the Corporal Pig.
 * Sometimes, in Angry Birds Toons, the Corporal Pig has a short temper and can get angry a bit easily. A couple examples are from when he got covered in mud by the King Pig by accident in "Where's My Crown?" and when the Birthday Minion Pig accidentally blew his noisemaker in the Corporal Pig's nostril when the Corporal Pig is yelling to him and frightening the Minion Pig in "Another Birthday", resulting the noisemaker incident. He can also be seen yelling out to call the Minion Pigs, as seen in the episode, "Another Birthday".
 * In Angry Birds Space, if you use Pig Puffer, the helmet will fall, and Corporal Pig will instantly die. You can't destroy the helmet because if it separates from Corporal Pig, it will be indestructible.
 * The pig's helmet for Angry Birds Toons has a brighter color than in the game.
 * In a Mighty Eagle picture, where the Moustache Pig and a Large Pig are scared because of the Mighty Eagle coming, Corporal Pig is seen running off, leaving his helmet behind.

Strategy

 * One shouldn't overestimate the power of the Corporal Pig's helmet. Even though the helmet is stone, it is weak. Red can defeat a Corporal Pig in just one hit.
 * Using a Blue Bird also works, but one should make sure to split the bird before making contact.
 * Any bird can kill the Corporal Pig, however, a single blue bird will not work as effectively.
 * Wood that falls on him can kill him, but it requires more wood. Stone structures that fall on him can kill him instantly. One block that shouldn't be used is ice. Ice is weak and will not work on Corporal Pigs.
