King Pig

The King Pig (A.K.A. Pig King or simply The King) is the main antagonist of the Angry Birds series of games, and serves as the leader of the Pigs. His grand scheme is using his minions to capture three unhatched eggs from the Birds so that they may satisfy their hunger. While he does succeed on most occasions, the Birds are able to destroy his army and retrieve the eggs, while seriously injuring the King. When he decides to swipe the Bird's eggs using a different method, each time surviving, though sometimes barely. In some cases, he will distract the Birds with a cardboard cutout of himself (in Mighty Hoax), or enslave multiple Birds, as he does with the Boomerang Bird in Danger Above and almost the entire Bird flock in The Big Setup in order to prevent his schemes from being foiled, but in the end, all the Birds end up succeeding. He then tries stealing them yet again in Ham 'Em High, where he gets defeated by the birds again. Afterwards, he and the rest of the pigs dig an underground tunnel to snatch the eggs in Mine and Dine. Then he takes the eggs again and hides them in a cake in Birdday Party. He makes his first appearance in the final level of Poached Eggs, Theme 3-21

Trivia

 * As there is only one King Pig in the entire game, it's the most rare variety of Pigs seen, and when it does appear, no more than one King Pig will ever appear in the same stage together. The only exception is Golden Egg Level 13, which features four King Pigs, but isn't considered part of the official Angry Birds canon due to the stage being a bonus level.
 * 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.
 * 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 the Angry Birds game, "Knock on Wood," 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 carboard 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, and in the Moon Festival comic, he is even a deuteragonist/supporting protagonist.
 * The Moon Festival comic shows also that the King cares for the other pigs. When he is seperated 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.
