History Main / PigMan

* ''Anime/PorcoRosso''. He used to be human, but he became half-pig through some unexplained event, implied to be his refusal to be AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence. He essentially wants to quit humanity.
** Hayao Miyazaki often drew people as pigs, [[https://i.imgur.com/ZZipBfe.jpg including the historical German tank commander Otto Carius.]]
* In ''Anime/SpiritedAway'' Chihiro's parents were turned into pigs because they ate food left out for the spirits. Apparently Miyazaki likes pigs.
* ''Manga/SuperPig''. A MagicalGirl who transforms into a pig.

* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' had Ryouga, who turns into a pig at comically proper times.
* ''Words Worth''. Pig-men ''rapists''.
* The Orcs in ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'' are pig-men with red skin. In one episode of ''NEXT'', they're even cooked and served in a restaurant! Not that they taste good, mind you...
* In ''Manga/Eyeshield21'', part of the Shinryuuji Naga's line consists of four look-alikes for the main characters of ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''. Naturally, Hakkai (named for the Japanese translation of Zhu Bajie) is rather pig-like in appearance.

* There're a few pig minks (minks are basically animal people) on Totto Land's WCI 31 in ''Manga/OnePiece''.
* The male Orcs in ''Manga/MonsterMusume'' are Dragon Quest-style boar men, in contrast, the females are instead LittleBitBeastly {{Cute Monster Girl}}s.
* Orcs in ''Literature/KonoSuba'' are a race of muscular pig [[OneGenderRace women]] with tusks and [[BlackComedyRape absurdly high libidos]].
* ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'' has pig-like orcs, drawn as basically more realistic versions of the ones from ''Franchise/DragonQuest''. They have cloven feet, tusks, upturned snouts, small curly tails, and are covered in bristly fur (they also frequently have small horns, but it's clarified in supplementary texts these are implants). Young orcs have backs covered in stripes like a boar squeaker.

* In ''Manga/InterspeciesReviewers'', orcs are depicted as a race of rotund, yet virile pig men.

* In ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'''s Alicization arc, due to the fact that Underworld is based pretty heavily on Tabletop RPG and Dragon Quest type games there are, of course, Orcs. Much like the common Japanese depiction, these Orcs appear as anthropomorphic pigs.

* ''Pig'' is an Italian comic series about a man who has undergone some genetic experiment and as a consequence, turns into a pig-man with SuperStrength whenever he is sexually excited. The only way for him to turn back into a human is to have sex with a different woman every time.
* ''ComicBook/SpiderHam''. He's a spider who was bitten by a radioactive pig.
** Don't forget The Kingpig of crime.
** A borderline case at best, since the entire ''Spider-Ham'' universe is populated by [[FunnyAnimal Funny Animals]] -- there aren't any "humans" to speak of.

* Sir Porga, an uplifted pig, is a member of the Knights of Wundagore in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse.

* [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse Duckburg]] has quite a few pigmen, which seem to fall into two stereotypes: the sneaky villain and the gentle BigEater. Both are usually rich. Creator/CarlBarks revealed that, for the most part, pigmen were used when he wanted a generic villain. That didn't stop him from making them memorable... Porkman De Lardo, anyone? Interestingly enough, if the Mayor of Duckburg makes an appearance, he'd usually be a pig.
* While not an actual pigman, Creator/GrantMorrison introduced Professor Pyg to Franchise/{{Batman}}'s RoguesGallery, who wears an incredibly disturbing pig mask. Given his creator, the mask is the least disturbing aspect of the character.
* Pigs occasionally turn up as characters in ''ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo''. Gunichi, the mentor who originally sponsored Usagi to Lord Mifume, who deserted them at the Battle of Aichi Plain and whom Usagi later tracked down and killed, was a warthog. There's also [[Franchise/ZatoIchi Zato-Ino,]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the Blind Swordspig.]]

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: Diana visits an allegorical probable future in which Paradise Island is invaded by aliens who are humanoid with pig-like heads.
* In the ''[[Magazine/RedDwarf Red Dwarf Smegazine]]'' comic strip "Evolution", a DevolutionDevice turns Lister's bacon sandwich into a pig, and reversing the effect turns the pig into an attractive woman with pink skin and pig ears. When Lister tries to flirt with her, she points out that he was about to eat her and puts herself in a [[HumanPopsicle stasis booth]] until other pigs have evolved as far as her.

* While not actual Pig Men, Jigsaw and his apprentices from the ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' films do have rather disturbing pig masks, which they're mostly seen wearing alongside some sort of coat.

* In ''Film/Legend1985'', Pox was a (humanoid) [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent goblin]] with a pig's head.

* The villains of ''Film/{{Squeal}}'' are three pig people that were result of a science experiment GoneHorriblyWrong.
* In ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'', Rita and Zedd had a pig-like henchman named Mordent; oddly enough, this character never appeared in any of the series. According to an early draft, he is Goldar's second cousin, three times removed on his mother's side, visiting for the summer, but this was written out for the final draft. In any case, he seemed to play the same role as Squatt and Baboo did, a non-combative lickspittle.
* The ''[[Film/DeathstalkerSeries Deathstalker]]'' films love to recycle a particular shot of a pig-man contemplating eating a suckling pig.
* ''Film/SpacehunterAdventuresInTheForbiddenZone'' has the heroes attacked by a shambling horde of piglike mutant humans in an abandoned tower.
* ''Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' has creatures called "minoboars".
* Gruagach from ''Film/Hellboy2019'', one of TheFairFolk has a boar like head complete with tusks.
* ''Film/ArtOfTheDead'': While trying to escape from the {{Portal Painting}}s, Kim and the kids have to get past the porcine embodiment of gluttony.

* ''Literature/TheIslandOfDoctorMoreau'' featured strange experiments resulting in various creatures, including pigmen.

* The French scifi novel ''Le Père de nos Pères'' by Creator/BernardWerber (who also wrote the novel that "inspired" the movie ''WesternAnimation/{{Antz}}'') postulates a human-pig (or rather some sort of simian-boar) hybrid as the origin of humanity, Also, genetically modified pigs [[WalkingTransplant used for human organ transplant]].
* ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'' features Zhu Bajie/Cho Hakkai/Pigsy, who is notably the least virtuous of the heroes. While in late depictions he's usually portrayed as a shaved clean pig man, in the original text he's more monstrous and boar-like, given his alternate name of Zhu Gouliang (Strong-maned Boar).
* The novel ''Pig Tales'' by French author Marie Darrieussecq features a woman who turns into a pig-woman over the course of the book.
* ''Literature/ThePigman'' (by Paul Zindel): {{Averted|Trope}}. The elderly Mr. Pignati is a kindly and perfectly normal looking man, who gets this nickname because he collects porcelain pigs.
* ''A Message from the Pig-Man'' (by John Barrington Wain): {{Averted|Trope}}. The juvenile narrator initially thinks the Pig-Man might be an example of this trope, but he turns out to just be a man who ''raises'' pigs.
* William Hope Hodgson's novel ''Literature/TheHouseOnTheBorderland'' features an underground-dwelling tribe of monstrous pigmen as one of the sources of horror.
** For those who haven't read the novel: we don't actually ''know'' that they're a tribe, and it's hinted (for that horror-filled touch) that they're the lesser/younger versions of an evil Pig Man ''god'' who turns up later in the novel, possibly as the primary antagonist. (It's a '''long''' story.)

* Quite literary in ''Literature/OryxAndCrake'', where pigs are spliced with human DNA in order to create ultra-large pigs [[WalkingTransplant who grow multiple human organs that are used for transplants]]. Some of them even have some human brain tissue, which makes them viciously intelligent. Of course, ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime.
* A pig-man adventurer converses with Pookie and Spider in one of the short stories from ''[[Literature/MythAdventures Myth-Told Tales]]''. Presumably, he's from a dimension where everyone is a pig-person, although his species and origin are never specified.
* In ''[[Literature/{{Nightside}} Paths Not Taken]]'', one member of Herne the Hunter's bestial entourage is a boar-headed ogre called Hob In Chains. Not only is Hob an example of this trope, but he's attended by a mob of dimwitted lesser pig-men, who are implied to have once been human.
* The "hyperpigs" of the ''Literature/RevelationSpaceSeries'' are a race of genetically modified pigs who were originally used as {{Walking Transplant}}s, though at some point scientists began to augment their intelligence; likely once their original purpose was made irrelevant [[{{Cyborg}} following advances in technology]]. Due to their tendency for muteness and poor intelligence, they form the criminal underclass of Chasm City. Even Scorpio, an intelligent pig crime lord, notes that he doesn't understand complex human interaction and cannot understand music. However, an intelligent hyper [[{{Pun}} pig cop]] named Sparver appears in ''Literature/ThePrefect'', working as a data analyst for Yellowstone's Prefects.
* The Kanamit are described as looking like bipedal pigs in Creator/DamonKnight's short story "To Serve Man". ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'' dropped this aspect in [[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S3E24ToServeMan its adaptation]] because the crew couldn't find a non-silly way to show alien pigs.
* The Iberian Orcs of ''Literature/TheWeaknessOfBeatriceTheLevelCapHolySwordswoman''. They're three to four metres tall and nearly as wide, and are incredibly strong. Unlike many depictions, they are peaceful in nature, only killing in self-defense or to eat.

%%** "The Talons of Weng-Chiang": Context required.

* One of the title characters in the Tonio K song "Willy and the Pig Man": "Champion of the luckless, lunchless, faceless little folk. You and me, know what I mean?"
* Paul Gray of Music/{{Slipknot}} used this image with his early mask. His nickname was "The Pig".

* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'': ''GURPS Aliens'' leads off with the An Phar, who are a Pig Man race with significant quirks (such as the social habit of bathing, individually and in groups, several times a day).
* ''TabletopGame/EclipsePhase'' has [[UpliftedAnimal uplifted]] pigs as a playable character option. It's noted that their history with pre-transhumanism humanity can make things a bit... [[CarnivoreConfusion awkward]].

* ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeon'': During his experiments, the Ancestor summoned a number of demonic entities. They were weak and stupid, so he bound them into a herd of pigs. As experiment after experiment failed, he dumped the resulting creatures into the Warrens near his home. These creatures bred quickly, resulting in humanoid pigs he dubbed Swinefolk. Now the Ancestor is gone, but the Swinefolk remain, menacing the Hamlet with their numbers and their brutal, violent tactics.

* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': The main villain, Ganondorf, tends to appear as either a green-skinned human man or a giant humanoid pig called Ganon. Generally, Ganondorf is his original form, while he turns into Ganon after absorbing considerable power from the Triforce at the cost of his intellect and lucidity; as such, while Ganondorf is a cunning manipulator and sorcerer, Ganon tends to be ravening beast [[ItCanThink who still displays occasional periods of brilliance]]. His minions, most notably the Moblins, also tend to look like this.
** Exactly how porcine Ganon looks tends to vary by game. [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI The original game]], ''[[VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink The Adventure of Link]]'', ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast A Link to the Past]]'' and other 2D games go for a huge humanoid boar with blue skin. By contrast, in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' he becomes somewhat pig-like in appearance, though he has horns in addition to tusks and a tail that more ''draconic'' than anything, making more resemble a demonic BeastMan that just happens to have a few noticeable pig traits, while his appearance in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'' can be best described as a giant hybrid lion-ape thing with a somewhat porcine face and huge tusks. In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]'' he sheds any and all anthropomorphism to appear first as a vaguely boar-shaped cloud of darkness and then as a giant flaming boar the size of a hill.
** Ganon(dorf)'s minions have also tended to become increasingly porcine over the series' history. The Moblins started out as humanoid ''bulldogs'' but gained piglike designs in ''A Link to the Past'' that they kept in most later games. The smaller Bokoblins debuted in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]]'' as pretty standard fantasy goblins with porcine noses, dropped this trait in later appearances, and then went to being full-on Pig Men in ''Breath of the Wild''. Hinoxes, which in all earlier games had just been cyclopes, are also redesigned in ''Breath of the Wild'' to be supersized Bokoblins with one eye and small tusks.

%%* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'': The Seeq of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsA2''.
* ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'': The first level of ''Ghouls n' Ghosts'' has pigmen armed with pitchforks among the various enemies. If you stand directly below them, they will vomit on you.
* ''Junkworld'': One of the enemies fought in the swamp is the Man Pig, a mutated humanoid boar. When they see a unit in front of them, they go into a temporary frenzied charge towards that unit until they reach it, becoming immune to damage while they're charging.
* ''VideoGame/{{Mother}}'':
** Porky/Pokey in general, though he's a pig ''boy'' and is clearly more boy than pig. It's obvious, though, that the developers tried to make him as piggish as possible ''without'' making him a full-on pig man.
** ''VideoGame/Mother3'': The Pigmasks. They even grunt and squeal just like pigs! Used to [[NightmareFuel unnerving effect]] in the Chimera Lab.
* ''VideoGame/VagrantStory'' has [[CallARabbitASmeerp Orcs]] that are absolutely pigmen, floppy ears and all. [[http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/psx/vs/enemy/orc.gif See here.]]
* ''Cyberswine'', which was about a cop who was a machine-pig-human hybrid. It was based on a short-lived Australian comic book of the same name.
* ''VideoGame/EverQuestII'' has the Boarfiends, a race of pigmen created when the god Brell Serilis got just a little ''too'' drunk one night.
* Pigsy in ''VideoGame/EnslavedOdysseyToTheWest'' is not only fat, but he has a scope with pig-ears and a Grappling Hook arm in the shape of a pig hoof.
* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'':
** Zombified Piglins (previously called Zombie Pigmen), are residents of The Nether (and the result of an ordinary pig being [[LightningCanDoAnything struck by lightning]], or if a Piglin stays in the overworld for too long). Unlike regular Zombies, Zombified Piglins will not attack you without provocation... but if you ''do'' provoke them, [[ZergRush they attack you en masse]], creating one of the most difficult fights in the entire game.
** Regular Piglins are also residents of the Nether, and unlike Zombified Piglins, they will attack you on sight, making it an interesting case where the zombie variant is actually ''less'' hostile. Thankfully, they have a [[GoldFever massive fondness for gold]] and wearing any gold armor will make them neutral towards you -- as long as you don't open any chests or mine gold around them. Once neutral, the player can barter items with them using gold ingots.
** Oddly, the zombie versions have existed since the Nether was added (in 2010) but the living piglins took until the Nether got overhauled an entire decade later, in 2019-2020. This is because "Pigmen" were originally planned to inhabit the Overworld villages but were tabled in favor of the more humanoid Villagers, and it took years for the concept to come up again.
* ''VideoGame/MinecraftLegends'': Throughout the game, the player will almost exclusively fight pig men known as Piglins. The Piglins resemble pigs but stand upright. They wear primitive clothing and exhibit warlike behavior, including the use of weapons. They can't speak, but can communicate with each other through various grunts.
* The Pig-Imps that appear in the later stages of ''VideoGame/RuleOfRose''. It appears that they are normal Imps that have strapped extra padding over their bodies and [[BodyHorror wear living pig heads as masks]].
* ''Franchise/DragonQuest'':
** Creator/AkiraToriyama's [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orc]] monster design looks like an anthopomorphic, spear-wielding boar. It also bucks the "lowly minion" convention by usually being first met in mid-to-late game RandomEncounters, meaning just one could very easily mop the floor with starting or low-level characters.
** Rashers, half of an early-game DualBoss in ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVII'', as well as his PaletteSwap clones that appear later as normal enemies.
* The Tom-Tom Gang from the ''VideoGame/{{Blinx}}'' series.
* Going with the theme that ''VideoGame/AmnesiaAMachineForPigs'' sets, the {{mooks}}, from lowly to elite, are all this. Given a truly horrific justification: [[spoiler:the titular NightmarishFactory is using unearthly alchemy and twisted surgery to fuse human captives and pigs together into a viciously child-like species to replace humanity through industrialized HumanSacrifice.]]
* Edgar Oinkie of ''VideoGame/AnarchyReigns'' is a fat man (albeit [[{{Acrofatic}} a surprisingly agile one]]) who wears a mask with a pig snout and [[PungeonMaster makes a lot of pig-related puns]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Slashout}}'' have red-skinned pigmen enemies, labelled "[[GratuitousItalian Porco]]" in-game, in the first stage. It ends with a particularly strong Porco general as a KingMook.
* Pigma Dengar from the ''Franchise/StarFox'' series, former member of team Star Fox, wo betrayed them to Andross, and later joined rival team, Star Wolf.
* [[PlayingWithFire Pignite]], [[BareFistedMonk Emboar]] and [[PsychicPowers Grumpig]] from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' all qualify.

* Mr. Hoggish the hot dog salesman from ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', and Midbus from ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory''.
* Troff from ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64'', and the Tutorial Pig from ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns''.
* Wizpig, the BigBad of ''VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing'', is a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot giant alien Pig Man sorcerer]], and ''boy'' [[ThatOneBoss is he fast!]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Startopia}}'''s Salt Hog race are all pig people.
* The Orcs from ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' are Pig men.
* In the survival game ''VideoGame/DontStarve'', they are simply known as "pigs" in-game. They live in pig houses or villages and a pig king that rules them. You can befriend one by giving them meat. You can also trade with the pig king with grave dug objects in exchange for gold nuggets.
* Giant pigmen with boar heads called Orks are met in the Windward Forest halfway through ''Quest 64''. Their offspring, Ork Jrs., are met somewhat earlier.
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
** One racist in-game book describes [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orcs, aka the Orsimer]], as "Pig-children". They are really a race of [[OurElvesAreDifferent Mer (elves)]] that were transformed when their patron spirit Trinimac was devoured by the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Prince]] Boethiah and reborn as the Daedric Prince Malacath. Aside from their bestial features, they have no relation to actual pigs.
** Ogrim are a [[GiantMook massive]] form of [[OurDemonsAreDifferent lesser Daedra]] that are as [[DumbMuscle dim-witted as they are strong]] and possess [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent generally reptilian traits]] including scales, horns, spikes. ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline Online]]'' adds some pig-like facial features to their mix.
* ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'' has some friendly examples of this trope.
* In ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic 2'', Orcs are Pig Men.
* ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic 4'' shows that Administrivia/TropesAreFlexible by making them [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_warthog Warthog]] Men instead.
* Aros Helgason from ''VideoGame/JitsuSquad'' is a warthog-man, who used to be a human Viking warrior until he's caught by a curse that turns him into an animal.
* Nork and Snork in the ''VideoGame/{{Tobal}}'' series.
* The Swine in ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeon'' are the result of attempts to summon demons by using pigs as bodily vessels. They are about [[BodyHorror as pleasant to look at]] [[ZombiePukeAttack and be around]] as you might expect.
* The Orcs in ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}'' are described as "the prolific product of a foolish experimental genetic mating of human and boar".
* Most of the [=NPCs=] you'll meet in ''VideoGame/FreezeME'' are pig men. Well, more like Pig {{Waddling Head}}s, but they are talking pigs. One of them, Piggleston, is a fully upright pig humanoid.
* Boarmen appears as rare, EliteMooks in ''VideoGame/TitanQuest'' as part of the army of monsters marching on Athens. They're both tall and broad, come in distinct colors (reddish, black and white) and are all considered champion monsters, attacking with GroundPound and sometimes [[ShockAndAwe Lightning]]. The first you meet, Cepharis, is a boss you must kill to complete a quest in Delphi.
* ''VideoGame/Legend1998'' have you fighting various hostile BeastMan enemies, the lowest-ranking [[TheGoomba goomba]] variety being pig-headed humanoids.
* In ''VideoGame/MutantYearZeroRoadToEden'', one of the main protagonists is a Pig Man named Bormin. He, like all mutants, is the result of [[spoiler:genetic experiments performed by the {{Precursors}}]].
* Headbone Interactive's edutainment games such as ''Alphabonk Farm'' and ''Pantsylvania'' featured a friendly Pig Woman as one of the main characters.
* ''VideoGame/OrientalLegend'', a duology of games based on ''Journey to the West'', has Zhu Bajie as one of the playable characters. He's surprisingly {{acrofatic}} and can kick plenty of ass with his trusty rake and serves as TheBigGuy among the bunch of playable heroes.
* One recruitable ally in ''VideoGame/TokyoAfterschoolSummoners'' is a boar man named Gouryou/[[DubNameChange Ganglie]], who takes direct inspiration from ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'''s character Pigsy. Though he's not as bad as his inspiration - unlike Pigsy he was never evil - he's still a [[BigBeautifulMan chubby]], [[LazyBum lazy]], [[UncleanlinessIsNextToUngodliness slobbish]], [[NunTooHoly corrupt]] [[TheAlcoholic drunkard]] CasanovaWannabe who spends his time trying to flirt it up with pretty much anyone available rather than fulfilling his duties as a monk.
* Porkrind, the shopkeeper in ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'', is a burly pig man.

* The Pigskins in ''{{Videogame/Rimworld}}'' were originally created as organ farms. At some point in the past they escaped and their ruggedness and ability to eat pretty much anything led to them spreading across various worlds, even if their trotter-like hands cause problems with dextrous tasks.

* Squigley, a [[TheStoner stoner]] pig, is the only intelligent being so far shown in ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' who isn't human, isn't a spiritual being like God or Death, and (as far as we know) didn't become intelligent from being exposed to demonic power. His precise origins are uncertain, but it's worth noting that he becomes a true pig in the "[[AntiMagic reality zone]]."

* ''Webcomic/ChampionsOfFaraus'' has Boarben, a race of boar people. They seem to be about as tall as (or possibly shorter than) dwarves.
* ''Webcomic/TheRedacverse'' has pig folk as one of its standard humanoid races, mostly as background extras. They live more or less like humans and aren't associated with many negative pig stereorypes (aside from gluttony). They're usually bright pink (as opposed to more realistic flesh tones) and as tall as humans. The Moon got [[{{Lunarians}} its own variant]] of [[http://the-redac.the-comic.org/comics/pl/908172 shorter and grey-skinned]] pig people.

* ''WesternAnimation/PiggsburgPigs'', an entire city of anthropomorphic pigs.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': [=ManBearPig=] is half this and half bear. Or he might be half man and half bear-pig or half man, half bear and half pig.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Chief Wiggum is pig-like in appearance, and was shown as a pig in two episodes: A ''Treehouse of Horror'' and a ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' parody. He complains that Sideshow Bob actually called him 'Chief Piggum' at one point. When [[LateToThePunchline he finally gets the joke]], he [[ActuallyPrettyFunny actually found it funny]] and when sprayed with mace in another episode, he actually screams "Ow, my snout! My beautiful snout!"

* ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'': Bebop, the half-warthog dimwitted henchman of the old cartoon.
** Also, in the first cartoon appearance of ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo, he is seen fighting off some samurai pigs.
** ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' features recurring villain Meat Sweats, a former TV chef mutated into a pig-man who cooks and eats other mutants in order to gain their powers.
* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'': Hoggish Greedly has a porcine nose and very sharp fangs, [[PungeonMaster makes loads of pig-related puns]], and he even snorts! This is just to make it more obvious that he's a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive corrupt industrialist]], because he's really a normal human.

* A child example happens in ''WesternAnimation/JumanjiTheAnimatedSeries'', Peter turns into a warthog, [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal his pants disappear]] and his appearance scares to his friend Maria.
* Circe from ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' is an evil pig witch, whom, like her Myth/ClassicalMythology counterpart, likes to turn her enemies into pigs. At the end of the episode she was in, [[spoiler:she is tricked into [[FurryConfusion becoming a pig herself.]]]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' - Krieger created a pig-man hybrid. We never saw it; just saw Krieger gunning him down.
--> '''Krieger, sadly:''' "Ah, Piggly..."
* The [[WesternAnimation/CatDog Peter Hannan Productions]] VanityPlate shows a pig man dressed as a cowboy.

* Hawgtie, a minor member of Tex Hex's gang in ''WesternAnimation/{{Bravestarr}}''.

* ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' has [[PunnyName Jean]] [[BilingualBonus Bon]], a good-natured pig man who owns a diner. Courage spends most of the episode wrongly (for once) believing that Jean Bon is dangerous. [[spoiler:His wife on the other hand is a different story, if her saying she wants to "sink [her] teeth into that cute little dog" are any clue.]]
* Hamilton in ''WesternAnimation/MaggieAndTheFerociousBeast'' is a kind and slightly neurotic pig man who ''loves'' to cook.
* Cornfed in ''WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}''.
* In Disney's ''WesternAnimation/HerculesTheAnimatedSeries'' Cassandra uses Circe's staff to return her enchanted friends to human form. When it doesn't work on Circe's pigmen guards, they explain, "we're just talking pigs, ma'am; do you mind if we go root around in the mud?"
* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangbone}}'', one of Venomous Drool's monsters is the Pigataur, which is basically a minotaur but if the bull parts were replaced with those of a wild boar. It has terrible eyesight but a superb sense of smell that allows it to smell down a Skullbanian through even the most labyrinthine of complexes.
* The obscure show ''WesternAnimation/PigCity'' had the titular city of pigs.
* The ''WesternAnimation/SuperMansion'' episode "Home is Where the Shart Is" starts with a flashback where Titanium Rex and the 1940's roster of the League of Freedom were chained above a pit of lava as Hitler planned to kill them with a porcine supervillain called Schwein Kampf. Instead, Schwein Kampf turns on Hitler due to growing sick of Hitler repeatedly insulting him for being a humanoid pig and throws Hitler into the lava in response to Titanium Rex confirming that Schwein Kampf is far from the only person who hates Hitler. Because of Schwein Kampf killing Hitler, Titanium Rex encourages the government to establish a law that villains are absolved of their criminal charges after doing heroic deeds, which in the present time causes Titanium Rex frustration when the law he started has made it so that he is obligated to share his mansion with the Injustice Club because of their hand in thwarting the Subtopian invasion. This leads to Titanium Rex asking Robobot to spy on Schwein Kampf in hopes of finding proof that the pig-man has committed felonies since his exoneration and therefore give power to repeal the law.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheMask'': "When Pigs Ruled the Earth" is a parody of ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'' where Peggy and The Mask end up in a BadFuture where anthropomorphic pigs rule over a ruined Edge City.

* ''Literature/TheIslandOfDoctorMoreau'' had some pigmen.
* In a way, ''Literature/AnimalFarm'' - but those were more like Manpigs (pigs who slowly became similar to men, walking on two paws, and wearing clothes).

* Pigma Dengar from the ''VideoGame/StarFox'' series, former member of team Star Fox, wo betrayed them to Andross, and later joined rival team, Star Wolf.
* [[PlayingWithFire Pignite]], [[BareFistedMonk Emboar]] and [[PsychicPowers Grumpig]] from ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}'' all qualify.

* ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'' has pig-like orcs, drawn as basically more realistic versions of the ones from ''Franchise/DragonQuest''.

* A child example happens in ''WesternAnimation/{{Jumanji}}'', Peter turns into a warthog, [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal his pants disappear]] and his appearance scares to his friend Maria.

* In ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', Kramer walks into the wrong hospital room and believes he saw a pig man, but it turns out to be a mental patient with pig-like features. George says he wouldn't mind it if there were pig men walking around, since they'd make him look a lot more attractive in comparison, to which Jerry responds that there would just be women out there with a fetish for pig men, so his chances wouldn't improve by much.

In fantasy settings they may be a rare kind of were-animal, or just a pig-faced monster. Sometimes the work will call the Pig Man an [[OurOrcsAreDifferent "orc"]] -- this probably stems from the fact that orcs are often depicted as pug-nosed, tusked creatures and because of ''Franchise/DragonQuest'', an RPG series that was and is extremely popular in Japan depicting them as Pigmen based off an illustration in 1st edition ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. There's also the similarity between the words "orc" and "pork", strengthening the connection (even though the two words are etymologically unrelated). In more futuristic settings, they'll be the product of genetic manipulation; these are usually human with "pig" added to them, but it could be the other way around. Either way, they're used as [[JustForPun grunts]], they have little intelligence, and [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman they can be slaughtered by the hundreds with no moral implications]].
