Subtrope to BigEater and, in some cases, ExtremeOmnivore or VillainousGlutton (if the character is [[SinisterSwine a villain]]). Supertrope to FedToPigs, where the pigs' gluttonous nature is used [[EatTheEvidence as a means]] [[DisposingOfABody to dispose of bodies]]. For other common porcine AnimalStereotypes, see MessyPig, PervertedPig, BrainyPig, and HousepetPig. For a trope related to boars, see FullBoarAction.

* Hawk from ''Manga/TheSevenDeadlySins'' 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.
* Chihiro's parents in ''Anime/SpiritedAway'' [[ForcedTransformation turn]] into pigs after gorging themselves on the spirits' food.

* ''WesternAnimation/PigsIsPigs1937'' and its predecessor ''At Your Service Madame'' star a young piglet named Piggy (not to be confused with WesternAnimation/PorkyPig) 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 IronicHell 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 [[FatteningTheVictim 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.

* ''Film/{{Legend 1985}}''. The pig-like goblin Pox wants to use the unicorn's magical horn to "turn everything into garbage, a great towering mountain of slop" for him to eat.
* The film adaptation of ''Film/DoctorDolittle'' 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 BigEater) that the term should be changed to "eating like a man."
* Pigs are used to dispose of bodies in ''Film/{{Snatch}}''. What's even more shocking is their willingness to eat human flesh.

* The eighth ''Literature/FrannyKStein'' book, ''Bad Hair Day'', had Franny's pigtails turn into giant pig monsters after gorging on Franny's latest formula and proceed to go on a rampage devouring everything with hair in sight.

However, due to a more global version of EaglelandOsmosis, this trope is very well-known among Jews, to the point that ''khazirút''[[note]]חזירות[[/note]] (lit. 'swinery') is essentially Modern Hebrew for 'avarice'.

** The principal joke of "The Tubmans of Porksmith", the ''Series/MuppetsTonight'' period drama about "American's oldest and fattest family", is Howard Tubman's gluttony and resultant obesity.

-->'''Brick Top:''' You got to starve the pigs for a day or two, then the sight of chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You've gotta shave the heads of your victims and [[TheToothHurts pull their teeth out]] for the sake of the piggies' digesting. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go [[MessyPig sievin' through pig shit, now do you?]] They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who [[FedToTheBeast owns a pig farm.]] They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that [[BigEater a single pig... can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh... every minute.]] Hence the expression, 'as greedy as a pig'.

** 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.

* The ''[[LetsPlay/DreamSMP Tales From the SMP]]'' episode "The Masquerade" features a PigMan character of the greedy variety named [[AristocratsAreEvil 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. [[spoiler:This ends up being PlayedForHorror by the end of the episode, as TheReveal is that he teamed up with a parasitic, mind-controlling AlienKudzu to [[KillThePoor have all his guests murdered]].]]

* Played with in Creator/HelenLester's picture book ''Literature/AllForMeAndNoneForAll''. Gruntly is a pig and he takes everything for himself, to the point of stealing others' things if possible. However, his pig friends Berkshire and Hampshire are very well-mannered and don't take more than their share. Their attitude ultimately rubs off on Gruntly.
