King Pig

**Smooth Cheeks**, also known as **King Pig** or **King Pig Smooth Cheeks**, is the main antagonist of the *Angry Birds* series. He is a pig, the current monarch of the Piggy kingdom, and the heir of his father, Leonard Mudbeard.

Also He is Special Elite unlocked by getting from Rare Capsule.

## Appearance

Originally, King Pig was a large, oval-shaped pig with lime-colored skin. He had wide eyes and a green pig snout in between. His ears were aligned to one side of his head, while the other side had a small, yellow crown with spiky ends on the top part of it, as well as small, blue jewels on it. This design was slightly altered in *Angry Birds Chrome*, and for *Angry Birds Friends* in 2020.

For the animated shorts in the early 2010s, King Pig was redesigned. He is now a round pig with green skin and small eyes, resembling other pigs. Nevertheless, he is still much larger than them, and also wears his crown, which was unaltered. This design was used few times, including the earliest animated trailers for *Angry Birds Friends*, and the cutscenes in *Angry Birds Trilogy*. The Ham'o'ween short, which also made use of this design, gave King Pig a different crown and a black and crimson cape, as he was disguised as a vampire.

Since *Bad Piggies Cinematic Trailer* (with the design previously appearing as a drawing in *Meet the Pink Bird*), King Pig was given a completely different design. He is now a triangle-shaped pig with green skin. His crown was altered as well, being much taller and more detailed than before, though it still keeps the blue jewels from his original design. Over time, this design was slightly altered to have darker spots on King Pig's skin.

## Personality

Said to be the greediest, meanest and most childish creature on Piggy Island, King Pig is very impatient, temperamental and immature, often acting like a spoiled child. He can be entertained by anything; for example, he finds the sound of deflating balloons funny, and has mimicked it while laughing. He has very bad manners, eating large chunks of cake at once and chewing with his mouth open. He is also very bossy, constantly giving his minions orders and asking for eggs, a food he seeks to eat. He is also jealous of other people's successes and accomplishments, specially Chef Pig's, and will try to be better than said people. In addition, he is very stupid and lacks common sense, proudly blaming himself for actions he did not do, and cannot solve easy problems. Nevertheless, he can sometimes be very intelligent, spying on the birds at the human world without them realizing it and even convincing them that he was a good person.

King Pig is notable for being very lazy; he spends the whole time in his palace, taking fourteen naps a day. He avoids exercising, which he despises, insisting to be carried around on a throne by some Minion Pigs while being fed junk food. He is shown to be a very gluttonous person, eating everything in his sight, even plates. King Pig loves sweets and desserts, and cannot resist eating them when he sees them. Once, he acted menacing to the Hocus Minion Pig for having sent him to other place, though he returned to his usual behavior when he spotted a giant cake nearby. Some other examples involve him falling on his own trap to catch the Cave Pig by eating the cakes the Cave Pig was supposed to eat, which resulted in him and Chef Pig being frozen; and when he ate radioactive-looking candies with cockroaches on them. He is also a very self-centered person, and a liar as well, building his image and reputation up with made-up stories and claims about himself and his relatives. King Pig is also greedy, not sharing anything to anyone; once, he even stole a Minion Pig's lollipop to eat it himself. However, he left aside this persona to get a Christmas gift from Terence.

King Pig is also very coward, being terrified of the presence of birds alone, and asking his henchmen for help. He was also very scared of an innocent, pink dog-like toy, and made every effort to stop it. In addition, he once had nightmares of monsters surrounding him after Chronicler Pig told him a fairy tale. However, he is also somewhat of a dreamer, believing that he can be as good as a wrestler as his idol, El Porkador. Another example of this was when he wanted to be a sheriff, but his cowardice made him quit and imprison himself to be safe.

Behind his selfish, demanding persona, King Pig has a soft side. He likes sleeping with his teddy bear, and has had nightmares of it being in danger when he was not sleeping with it. He is also very sensible, crying in the middle of a battle with no effect. He dislikes being insulted, and feels uncomfortable whenever he is being portrayed as a disgusting person.

## Abilities

While not having any superhuman ability, King Pig is very durable, having survived explosions, falls, crashes, and even being crushed. He can also drive vehicles quite well.

## Evolution in Game

Evolves into **Great King Pig** at Level 10.

## Trivia

* In Where's My Crown?, the other Bad Piggies seem to be unable to identify him as King Pig when he lost his crown, despite his unusual shape, although it could likely be due to their stupidity.
* In the comic, The Bidding War, King Pig's birthday supposedly takes place. The comic was released on September 12; but then King Pig claims his birthday is next week, meaning King Pig's birthdate is September 19.
* King Pig once had a wife (a cabbage) when he was briefly hallucinating after being struck by it, thinking it was a Queen Pig.
