Chef Pig is an antagonist that appears in the Angry Birds series. He is King Pig's royal cook, but despises him. He is very dishonest and cunning, constantly plotting to overthrow King Pig, modernize the Piggy kingdom, and eat the Angry Birds' eggs. Despite his attempts, his plans are always foiled by the birds or accidentally by the pigs.
Appearance
Chef Pig is a limbless pig with green skin, thick, black eyebrows, and a stereotypical chef hat. He is the only pig with facial hair alongside the Foreman Pig, with his moustache consisting of two long, curly hairs. His earliest appearance in the 2011 Christmas Comic gave him a small, round body. In Bad Piggies, The World of Angry Birds Official Guide, and Angry Birds Birdsonality Test, Chef Pig had lime skin, large eyes, and a triangular body. Starting from Angry Birds Toons, he received a darker green skin and smaller eyes like most other pigs.
Personality
Chef Pig's vision of a regime ruled by him, from Angry Birds Comics #11 (2016).
Chef Pig is extremely arrogant, viewing himself as the most important pig and considering the others to be an annoyance. He also has a penchant for dishonesty, claiming to have won "Liar of the Year" five times in a row. However, he is said to be very paranoid as well.[1]
Despite his position as King Pig's cook, he hates the monarch and actively plots his downfall.[1] Although he has never succeeded in this goal, Chef Pig does have plans for his potential rule of the Piggy kingdom: as monarch, he has promised to modernize pig culture, emphasizing cuisine, music, and poetry.[2]

In gameplay, Wizpig is fought as a boss in the Star Reef, Snowy Peak, and Pig City. He is also the final boss in the Hog Head Mountain, where he transforms into Demonic Wizpig after betraying King Pig and claiming the final egg for himself.
Angry Birds Seasons
In Angry Birds Seasons, Chef Pig has his Toons design unlike most other pigs and has no expressions. He only appears in two levels: in Pig Days 4-9, which references his appearance as a boss in Angry Birds 2, and Piggywood Studios 2-26, where he is seen in a recreation of the dinner scene in The Angry Birds Movie, playing the same role as Movie Chef Pig there.

In Angry Birds Fight!, Chef Pig was known as the Scientist Pig. His design is slightly different, now including a silver monocle and a purple potion. In gameplay, he appeared as an enemy in Floor 10 of Dr. Pig's Lab. He was not very strong and could be easily defeated with a powerful bird. His ability consisted of trapping a bird in a stone block, preventing nearby birds from being matched.

In Angry Birds Friends, Chef Pig appeared in the sixth level of the Angry Birds 2 Tournament as a boss.
Angry Birds 2
In Angry Birds 2, Chef Pig is featured as the first of three bosses, alongside the Foreman Pig and King Pig. He is first found on level 1 where he sucks in the eggs into the pigs' blimp, but is first fought in level 5.
In gameplay, Chef Pig appears in the final wave of the levels where he is featured, always following King Pig and preceeding the Foreman Pig. He gains strength as the player progresses. In water levels, he also wears a lifebuoy to float. Like the other bosses, Chef Pig has a health gauge that depletes when he suffers a hit. Bomb, Terence and Silver can deal large damage to him. Chef Pig is also automatically defeated if he falls into a pit or lands in the far left of the screen.

He begins to think about eating the egg himself so he can become king, but those hopes are dashed when Stella and Bubbles steal the pendant back while the chef is distracted. Once he notices, Chef Pig looks outside and sees the pair running to the door. Chef Pig singles them out to the guards, cornering them. When they get over the walls, the Chef orders the city's Minions to chase after them. It is unknown if he was part of the ensuing chase.
