Piggy Island

Piggy Island or Pig Island is a location that appears in the Angry Birds series. It is an island located on earth.

Discovered by the pigs long time ago, Piggy Island was the place where they established the Piggy kingdom, which would continue to rule the island to this day. More recently, Piggy Island also served as the home for the Angry Birds, where they would protect the eggs from the Piggy kingdom.

Description
Piggy Island is a large island surroundered by the Pigcific Ocean on earth. Most regions on the island, most notably the Cobalt Plateaus, are very elevated with respect to the level of the sea. Coastlines are generally large beaches that normally are full of stuff that are taken there by natural phenomena such as storms. Piggy Island is also the location of Pig City, the capital of the Piggy kingdom, the monarchy ruling the island.

Piggy Island is very diverse in natural regions, including forests, beaches, caves, and mountains.

Pig Palace
Main article: Pig Palace

The palace is one of the most important buildings in the country and the residence of the island's ruler. The original castle was destroyed along with multiple other structures in a massive TNT explosion in the Battle of Pig City. It was later rebuilt at an unknown point in the timeline. It is located in the nation's capital, Pig City.

Hog Head Mountain
Hog Head Mountain, sometimes called Mount Pork is the mountain in the middle of Piggy Island that is notably shaped like a Minion Pig. It is the most notable area in Angry Birds Epic as it is extremely large, or therefore, anyone who sees Piggy Island may think this is most notable. Bomb tries to control his temper by soaking in the hot springs on Hog Head Mountain. Inside this mountain, there is a volcanous place full of boiling lava and structures made by ancient civilizations such as pig-shaped stone cannons activated by ores and crystals, as seen on Angry Birds 2.
