==[[The Glade of Dreams|Rayman's World]] Specie==
'''Pigs''' are creatures, present both in [[Glade of Dreams|Rayman's world]] and on [[Earth]], that appear frequently in the ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' series. They make their first and most prominent appearance in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', and are characterized by their permanent facial expression and constant squeals.


===Appearance===
==Appearance==


Pigs in [[The Glade of Dreams|Rayman's World]] are small creatures, pink-coloured and round-shaped with only two theet in the lower part of the mouth. They have always the same facial expression and a big triangular nose that is very useful to smell nearby dangers as seen in [[Bunnies Are Heartless With Pigs|Bunnies Are Heartless With Pigs Part 1]] and [[Bunnies Are Heartless With Pigs (Part 2)|Part 2]]. There are also female pigs that look like the male ones with the addition of blond hair gathered in braids. The major part of the pigs are smaller than [[Rayman]], but the females appear to be bigger and as seen in [[Bunnies Don't Milk Cows|Bunnies Don't Milk Cows Part 1]] and [[Bunnies Don't Milk Cows (Part 2)|2]] there are also pigs as big as a [[cow]]. As seen in these last two minigames, it seems that male pigs can produce milk.

Pigs from [[Earth]] appear only in ''[[Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time]]''. They are different in appearance from the [[Glade of Dreams|Rayman's World]] species. They resemble the common [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_pig domestic pig].


Pigs make their first appearence in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''. In the minigames [[Bunnies Are Heartless With Pigs|Bunnies Are Heartless With Pigs Part 1]] and [[Bunnies Are Heartless With Pigs|Part 2]] [[Rayman]] has to bring a piglet to her mother avoiding some [[Rabbids]]. If one of them is near the player, the pig that Rayman hold will start grunting. In [[Bunnies Can't Herd]] they are part of the challenge along with [[cow]]s and [[sheep]]. A pig is also  present in the introduction of [[Bunnies Can't Slide (Part 2)|Bunnies Can't Slide Part 2]] and some others appear in [[Bunnies Don't Milk Cows|Bunnies Don't Milk Cows Part 1]] and [[Bunnies Don't Milk Cows (Part 2)|Part 2]] only in the multiplayer mode. They appear also in [[Bunnies Rarely Leave Their Burrows (Part 2)|Bunnies Rarely Leave Their Burrows Part 2]] as obstacles. In [[Bunnies Don't Like Bats|Bunnies Don't Like Bats Part 1]] and [[Bunnies Don't Like Bats (Part 2)|Part 2]] Rayman has to bring some piglets to her mother with the help of a creature that looks like a puppy of pterodactyl.
Another type of pig appears in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' as a breakable object. Here it is called a [[Porkibank|pigpot]] and rewards [[jewel]]s when [[Rayman]] smashes them.

===''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]''===


Pigs from [[Earth]] appear only in ''[[Raving Rabbids Travel in Time]]''. They are different in appearance from the [[The Glade of Dreams|Rayman's World]] specie. They resemble the common domestic pig <sup>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_pig [source]]</sup>.
Even if the events of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'' are set in the [[Earth]], this species of pigs is present. They appear as obstacles in [[Bike Race]] and [[Shopping Cart Downhill]]. A pig makes a cameo in the minigame [[Rodeo]], but it is not real.


===''Raving Rabbids Travel In Time''===
===''[[Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time]]''===
This kind of pig makes his only appearence in ''[[Raving Rabbids Travel In Time]]''.
 
A different variation of pigs can be seen in a loading screen from the game ''[[Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time]]''. These pigs look more realistic by the fact that they are ''Earth'' pigs. They are never seen in-game.
 
===''[[Rayman Legends]]''===
 
The original pig from ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' through a shape of a constellation in the sky of one of the levels from the olympus world. This pig bears a pair of wings, possibly as an allegory to the phrase "when pigs fly", and is accompanied by a constellation of a member of [[Globox's species]] playing a harp. A round, flying pig, known as a '''Pigasus''', is also found in [[Olympus Maximus]], specifically the final level of the world, [[A Cloud of Darkness!]]. Pigasuses can be bounced on to ascend through the level, similarly to [[bouncy flower]]s.

===''[[Rayman Adventures]]''===
 
Pigasuses feature more prominently in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', where several versions appear in [[Olympus Maximus (Rayman Adventures)|Olympus Maximus]]. The bouncing version, either static or flying, can be used by the hero as a means of propulsion; some levels only take place on the back of a flying pig. Stacked pigs sometimes serve as vertical or horizontal obstacles that the hero can punch or [[Crush attack|crush]] through, while others can be seen flying in the background but cannot be interacted with.
