- — Professor Pig, Angry Birds Comics Issue 9 (Feeding Frenzy! story)
Professor Pig is a pig that appears in the Angry Birds series. He is one of the smartest pigs on Piggy Island, and hopes that, one day, the Birds and the Pigs will cease fighting.
Appearance
Professor Pig is a green large pig with a lighter color snout, thick white eyebrows, three spots on his head and his forehead is large because of the brain. He wears an orange bowtie and glasses
In Angry Birds Toons, Professor Pig is like his normal appearance, but he lacks the bowtie, the spots are in the hear and his complexion is darker.
Personality
The Professor Pig is an inventor, and has an infectious excitement about new things. This excitement lets him accomplish great projects if he really puts his heart in them. The details sometimes escape him, and he's not very accepting of piggies who don't share his vision. But he'll let other pigs sort out the details while he focuses on the big picture. He teaches the pigs about the birds and other things as he is a professor.
Just like Matilda, Professor Pig is deeply upset about the war with the birds, and would rather have peace on the island, as his blood boils every time Foreman Pig steals his blueprint of peaceful inventions as a design to build an egg-napping contraption.
Game appearances
Angry Birds Epic
In Angry Birds Epic, Professor Pig is a non-playable pig owning his own lab which is located on the map between the first level of the Golden Fields location and the Mosaic Bridge level and looks like a house in the shape of a pig's head. In the laboratory, the player can buy various improved versions of potions and other items for birds. However, to buy them, they need to have a sufficient number of coins, as well as a certain level of experience. In addition to the laboratory, the Professor Pig is also found in some cutscenes where he helps birds several times (for example, builds an airship for them).
Judging by the fact that the professor makes the birds the necessary items for them, it can be assumed that in the game, he switched to the side of the birds. However, it is possible that he is a neutral character and simply sells various goods to everyone who enters his laboratory.
Also in the Chronicle Cave, in the levels the player can see a drawing made in chalk, which depicts a scientist with two minions.
Angry Birds Seasons
In Angry Birds Seasons, Professor Pig appeared in the episode On Finn Ice as an unplayable character. There, (3 tells the player interesting facts about Finland. Professor Pig appears on several posters in the Invasion of the Egg Snatchers episode.
Angry Birds Transformers
Professor Pig is responsible for using the Energon Crystals harvested by the Transformers after a mission, and turning them into Power-Ups called "Energonicons" using a special machine hidden beneath Hog Head Mountain (depicted here as a giant metal dome) in the Pig Lab. He is based on Dr. Henry Arkeville, a mad scientist affiliated with the Decepticons in the G1 cartoon, merely having his entire forehead covered in metal. His lab is unlocked after you have freed Heatwave.
Outside of his Arkeville transformation, he also appears in cutscenes in his regular form.
Animated appearances
Angry Birds Toons
Professor Pig was fond of invention. He once made a car for planting flowers (Slappy-Go-Lucky), but it got out of control, which is why the dock had to leave. At this time, the Foreman Pig, who was passing by, decided to steal the drawings. Subsequently, his invention exploded, throwing its creator into a volcano. Later, when the scientist created a prototype, a burnt Baron entered the laboratory and returned the scheme, which almost immediately crumbled into dust.
One day, the professor and the Chronicler Pig were quietly resting on the seashore (Party Ahoy), and they witnessed the sinking of the island with a volcano. At this time, the King Pig swam to them. The three of them began to drink tea and chat.
One day, the King Pig decided to grow a beard (Bearded Ambition). The Professor Pig created a special drug for growing hair. Another time, the King could not sleep, and the Professor and the Corporal Pigs decided to help. The Professor tried all the methods: he turned on soothing music, sang a lullaby, gave sleeping pills, but nothing helped. The King Pig woke up and yelled at the scientist, but the Corporal gave him a sledgehammer, which the scientist hit the King, causing him to finally fall asleep (Sleep Like a Hog).
In the Golditrotters episode, the Professor Pig appears as Golditrotters' grandmother, who accompanied her granddaughter for a walk in the woods. Later, Golditrotters saw Terence's grandmother at home.
