Four legged, pinkish mammal, that goes 'oink'.

A "magical beast that produces bacon, ham, and pork chops".

For complex reasons, to do with the tendency for food at events to be limited in volume, making a pig a monarch is generally frowned on, since they then expect to get rapid access to the front of the feast queue. In some cases, their conversation can also be quite boaring
