{{Quote|So... '''Raw recruits''', eh? Do you have what it '''takes''' to be '''minions'''? Do you have the '''primal need''' to '''defeat''' the '''[[The Flock|Angry Birds]]'''? Do you have the '''heart''' of '''underling'''? The '''sheer determination''' of a '''subordinate'''? The '''burning desire''' to '''mindlessly follow''' orders no matter '''how''' insane they might be?|[[Corporal Pig]], [[Angry Birds Comics Issue 4|''Angry Birds Comics'' #4]]}}
The '''Minion Pig''' is a character that appears in the [[Angry Birds (series)|''Angry Birds'' series]]. He is a [[pig]] and a part of the [[Piggy kingdom]] on [[Piggy Island]], as well as a minion of [[Gale]] on [[Golden Island]].

Stupid by nature, the Minion Pigs are in the lowest rank of the Piggy kingdom society.<ref name="ABC12016s2">[[Angry Birds Comics Issue 1 (2016)|''Angry Birds Comics'' (2016) #1]], "Master Pig Theatre presents: The Three Minionteers"</ref> However, they love having fun, and their stupidity makes them obedient soldiers that can be a great threat to their enemies.

Originally, the Minion Pigs were round-shaped [[pig]]s covered in lime-colored skin. They had small eyes and a medium-sized pig snout in between. On top of their head, they had two small ears. On their back, they also had a short, corkscrew-like tail. In ''[[Angry Birds Chrome]]'', the Minion Pigs were slightly modified to be given a more cartoonish look and larger eyes.

In ''[[The Angry Birds Movie]]'', the Minion Pigs' design was changed to give them an anthropomorphic body with cloven hooves at the end of their limbs. The head is now directly connected to the torso without a neck. Future releases would switch between this design and the old one.

In ''[[Angry Birds Journey]]'', the Minion Pigs got another design. In artwork, they look similar to the Minion Pigs from ''The Angry Birds Movie'', though shorter and with a younger appearance. In levels, they have their earliest designs, though square in shape.

==Personality==
[[File:AFITF63.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A group of Minion Pigs bowing to [[Gale]], who is wearing a crown she had just found, from "[[A Fork in the Friendship]]".]]
Overall, most Minion Pigs are hard workers. They are very loyal to their ruler, who they obey if the latter wears their crown. This means that, with some exceptions, they cannot recognize their ruler if the latter is not wearing their crown.<ref name="ToonsS1E2">Lindgren, Niklas; Carney, Ian (March 23, 2013). "[[Where's My Crown?]]". ''[[Angry Birds Toons]]''. Season 1. Episode 2.</ref><ref name="StellaS2E1">Vanderlaan, Bernice (October 9, 2015). "[[New Day]]". ''[[Angry Birds Stella (TV series)|Angry Birds Stella]]''. Season 2. Episode 1.</ref> Without a ruler, the Minion Pigs often wander around looking for someone to obey.<ref name="StellaS1E1">Heinzl, Anastasia (November 1, 2014). "[[A Fork in the Friendship]]". ''[[Angry Birds Stella (TV series)|Angry Birds Stella]]''. Season 1. Episode 1.</ref>

The Minion Pigs are very stupid by nature, being unable to spell the alphabet, and ignoring warning signs.<ref name="PTS1E1">Vignon, Antoine; Lilja, Erkki (April 11, 2014). "[[Trampoline]]". ''[[Piggy Tales]]''. Season 1. Episode 1.</ref> No matter the situation, they will always try to find something to have fun with, such as the lights turning out<ref name="PTS2E14">Rolland, Philippe (July 17, 2015).

Season 1. Episode 23.</ref> which more often than not leads them to get distracted. To compensate this however, they never give up, no matter how many times they have failed, and constantly try and try again until they manage to achieve their goals.<ref name="MinionPigProfile" /> This makes them a great threat to their enemies, specially combined to the great numbers of them.<ref name="TWOABOG">''[[The World of Angry Birds Official Guide]]'', [https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/wp-content/uploads/album/64368/PicsArt_12-20-04.51.07-640x479.png pgs 11-12].</ref>
