Gluttonous Pig | comment |
Pigs are more omnivorous than most domestic animals, and like most meat livestock have been bred to put on weight quickly. That's why in fiction pigs are often portrayed as gluttonous beasts whose favorite thing in life is eating — eating a lot, eating all the time, eating anything that moves and that doesn't. This may result in the pig character becoming obese, but not necessarily; quite often they're just a bit pudgy. If a pig is anthropomorphic, expect them to eat a lot of junk food, in a poignant commentary on the low quality of mass-produced food, or on modern consumer society, or something like that. In a crossover with Messy Pig, such anthropomorphic swine usually have Jabba Table Manners, burping, snorting and farting all the time. Sometimes, in a twist on this trope's original meaning, a pig character (usually also anthropomorphic) is portrayed as greedy, craving money and riches instead of swill. Subtrope to Big Eater and, in some cases, Extreme Omnivore or Villainous Glutton (if the character is a villain). Supertrope to Fed to Pigs, where the pigs' gluttonous nature is used as a means to dispose of bodies. For other common porcine Animal Stereotypes, see Messy Pig, Perverted Pig, Brainy Pig, and Housepet Pig. For a trope related to boars, see Full-Boar Action. Interestingly, in Judaism pigs are actually a symbol of hypocrisy: they are said in The Talmud to be the only animals with cloven hooves that don't ruminatenote Not true: okapis fit this description as well; but Jews didn't know about them at the time the Talmud was written, so a pig displays its hooves and claims to be pure while not being sonote Mammals need to have cloven hooves and ruminate to be kosher; you can read more about it here. However, due to a more global version of Eagleland Osmosis, this trope is very well-known among Jews, to the point that khazirútnote חזירות (lit. 'swinery') is essentially Modern Hebrew for 'avarice'. |

In Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey he shows up as a Villainous Glutton that loves to eat. Persona 5: With his round and squat figure and his Piggytron superweapon, it's clear that Kaneshiro has a distinct pig motif going on. That paired with his palace being a literal bank and his desire to get more money regardless of means, makes him a clear take on the connection between greediness and pigs. |

The Tales From the SMP episode "The Masquerade" features a Pig Man character of the greedy variety named Sir Billiam III, who shows extreme disdain for anyone short of upper class, considering "poor" people (whom he calls "commoners") to be subhuman and unworthy of names, and even multi-millionaires to be "barely" rich enough for his standards. This ends up being Played for Horror by the end of the episode, as The Reveal is that he teamed up with a parasitic, mind-controlling Alien Kudzu to have all his guests murdered. | |

Hawk from The Seven Deadly Sins prides himself as this as he is the one in charge of cleaning leftovers. In a more figurative example, the sorceress Merlin is known as the "Boar Sin of Gluttony." However, her gluttony is tied to an insatiable hunger for knowledge rather than food. |

Dawn's Swinub from Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl is a gluttonous wooly pig-like Pokémon, eating Dawn's entire supply of Poffins much to her other Pokémon's displeasure. Swinub loses this trait when it evolves into Piloswine and then Mamoswine, coincidentally resembling more of a wooly mammoth than a pig. | |

The film adaptation of Doctor Dolittle has the titular character openly hating this Trope as it holds to a negative stereotype about an entire species and reduces them to a simple insult (along with other animal-based insults like "Stubborn as a mule" or "Stupid as an ox"). When his ability to talk to animals lands him in court for being accused of insanity, he complains to the judge (Who's a Big Eater) that the term should be changed to "eating like a man." | |

Hoggmeiser from Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. He's greedy to the point where the periods in his speech have been replaced with $ marks, he uses his own followers as shields, and at one point compares the main character to a fish bone stuck in his throat. He never shows up in more than one chapter in the game, despite forcing his way onto your team for the rest of the game. | |

Pigs is Pigs (and its predecessor At Your Service Madame) star a young piglet named Piggy (not to be confused with Porky Pig) who is a remorseless glutton who frequently tries to steal as much food as he can for himself and constantly gets in trouble with his mother for it. At supper time, he steals and eats the entire family's dinner for himself (after already stealing a pie earlier in the afternoon), forcing his numerous siblings to go to bed hungry. That night, he has a nightmare of being punished in an Ironic Hell where he is captured by a man offering him a buffet, only to end up being force fed. Although he's shown to react in horror to his capture and what the man has in store for him, Piggy is implied to have actually come to enjoy the feeding due to having more to eat than ever, despite ending up so fat he can barely walk or breathe. Finally, he can't resist one more bite of food before he tries to escape, only to explode upon eating. He wakes up from his nightmare, but either promptly forgets his dream or doesn't care as he goes right back to gorging himself on breakfast. Another one shows the actual Porky going to a hospital, claiming to have eaten too much at a birthday party and gotten a stomach ache; an x-ray of his stomach shows a birthday cake with candles still lit. |
