What are the pigs in Angry Birds?

The pigs in Angry Birds are the primary antagonists that the players aim to defeat throughout the game. Created by Finnish company Rovio Entertainment, these green-colored pigs vary in size and abilities, and they are known for stealing eggs from the birds, which is the source of the conflict within the game. The player uses a slingshot to launch birds with different capabilities at structures where the pigs are sheltered, with the intention of eliminating all the pigs in each level to progress through the game. As the levels advance, players encounter more challenging constructions and stronger pig opponents, including mustachioed and helmeted pigs that are harder to defeat, thereby requiring strategic planning and skillful execution to be victorious.
