The currently known species of Pigs, ordered by their strength.
In the Angry Birds series, the Pigs are the main antagonists who are constantly stealing the Birds un-hatched eggs, desiring to cook and eat them. In order to prevent the Birds from taking back their eggs, the King Pig commands his army of pigs to construct many buildings and structures to keep the birds from reaching him. Although all these structures really manage to do is slow the birds down.
All of the pigs are light green in color, and come in several variations. First, there is the basic pig that comes in three sizes, small, medium, and large. Then, there are the pigs that wear helmets, referred to as Armor Pigs (also called Helmet Pigs), the second in command pig with a mustache called the Mustache Pig, and finally, the leader, the King Pig.
Starting from the fourth episode, The Big Setup, the pigs will begin to wear different hats and/or accessories, including hard hats, pumpkin hats, pumpkins, ghost sheets, winter gear, Santa hats, cowboy hats, sombreros, and bows. Despite these hats being placed on the pigs, the pigs still remain the same species, as they can be killed w/o the hat being destroyed, or vice versa.
Every pig killed in the action awards 5,000 points, slightly more if the hat it is wearing is also destroyed in the process.

Trivia
- As stated by Rovio, the pigs have very little intelligence, and usually are focused on the topic food and eating. However, their building skills show improvement as the game progresses, suggesting the the topic of survival of the fittest applies for the pigs.
- Interestingly, there are pig hoofprints on the ground during the cutscenes and the cinematic trailer when the pigs steal the eggs, even though they have no hooves, let alone any legs.
- Whenever the birds fail at a level, the surviving pigs will make an evil laugh or chuckle.
