Pig King

"That's a man with his priorities in order!"

- Maxwell

The Pig King can be found in one of the Pig Villages that generally spawn on a Grassland patch or in a Forest biome. He is usually lying on Wooden Flooring surrounded by Obelisks and may be guarded by Guardian Pigs if playing in Adventure Mode. He is immune to any damage.

Interaction:  The player can make offerings to the Pig King in exchange for Gold Nuggets. At night that isn't possible, due to the Pig King sleeping.

Exchange rates
Meats that are not accepted by the King can be converted into eggs by a bird in a Birdcage and then offered to the King.

This makes gold an infinite resource, as meat is a renewable resource in the game.
