Corporal Pig makes his first appearance in level 1-21 of Poached Eggs in the original Angry Birds. He also appears as an enemy in some of the following levels of the game, sometimes in mass. Just like the other pigs in the game, Corporal Pig must be popped to complete the levels. He appears to be much tougher than the normal Minion Pig, mainly due to his helmet protecting him from damage. However, he can be defeated quite easily. Popping Corporal Pig will grant the player 5.000 points.
