'''Pigs''' are animals in the [[Earth|Real World]]. They also appear in the [[MarioWiki: Marioverse|Marioverse]], in multiple games. They first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins]]'', as bosses known as [[The Three Little Pigheads]], who were three pigs that poked fun at the story of the three little pigs. They next appeared in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' under the name of [[Li'l Oink]]s. These pigs are used to get certain items.

Mayor Dour, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Pigs appear in the Super Mario franchise as animals that are typically anthropomorphic or capable of speech.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Doopliss turns the citizens of Twilight Town into Pigs with the ring of a bell. When Doopliss is defeated, everyone is turned back. The title of the chapter in which these events take place is called "For Pigs the Bell Tolls", which is a reference to the novel written by Ernest Hemingway called For Whom the Bell Tolls. Unlike nearly every other character in the game, the pigs of Twilight Town are three-dimensional in nature, and are nearly identical to Li'l Oinks from Paper Mario, albeit with red eyes likely to denote their cursed status.
