Pig is a character in the Barnyard franchise. He is one of Otis' best friends.
Early life
Nothing is known about Pig's life.
In "Meet the Ferrets," he implies that he was born to parents who thought leprechauns were stealing their gold. Pig's parents may have been the second generation of pie-making behind Granny Pig, whom he implies he inherited a pie recipe from. He may have used to live with his grandmother in his early years and loved her pie.
Personality
Pig is friendly, energetic, fun-loving, honest, pleasant, and patient. However, he can be very gluttonous as well. Pig is not exactly the brightest pig around though, usually when he is missing the point of something (to which Pip points out he is not bright). Despite his low intelligence, Pig absolutely means well and will do anything to help his friends.
Pig likes a lot of food and eats ranched food. In one episode, he ate all the corn in the cornfield. In another episode, he ate cake made of TNT. Pig enjoys laying in mud and prefers to keep his stall a mess, becoming stressed and uncomfortable if it is clean. He also frequently interrupts the series just so he can answer fan mail, which is something of a running gag.
He is very caring of his pet Skunky.
