Pigs are a species of villager in the Animal Crossing series that have appeared since Doubutsu no Mori, characterized by their curled tails, flopped ears, and large snouts. Nineteen pig villagers have appeared in the series, including one islander, out of which one is sisterly, three are cranky, five are jocks, two are peppy, one is smug, two are snooty, three are normal, and two are lazy.
In all games up to Animal Crossing: Wild World, the pig villagers had pointed ears, similar to the cat villagers. In Animal Crossing: City Folk onwards, however, the pigs instead are given flopped ears, making the pig the first villager species to receive a design change between games.
