Guardian Pig

Guardian Pigs are an aggressive Mob that spawn from Pig Torches. They have higher Health than regular Pigs but the same drop, 1 Meat or 1 Pig Skin. They cannot be bribed by Meat or attracted by One-man Band, making them appear to be very loyal to their Pig King.

All Guardian Pigs spawn from the Pig Torch, which will spawn one every 3 days, if the Guardian Pig is dead. In Sandbox Mode, they may be located beside the Pig King or seemingly in the middle of nowhere. While in Adventure Mode, they stay in the Pig Fortress, which is surrounded by Wood Walls. In world 4 of Adventure Mode you can find 4 Pig Torches surrounding the Pig King instead of Obelisks.

They can also turn into Werepigs when the moon is full or given 4 Monster Meats, but they will return to normal at a faster rate. They can be frozen with two blasts from the Ice Staff.dd

Behaviour
They act in groups and all of them will chase the player if the player is standing beside any of guardian pigs. When chasing the player, they will say something like "For the King!" and "For Great Justice!".

Here is the list of their quotes:


 * For Great Justice!
 * For His Plumpness!
 * For The King!
 * For King!
 * King King!
 * Save King!
 * Defend!
 * I sure showed him!


 * I Protect!
 * You Go Away!
 * You Leave Now!
 * More Fuel!
 * Make Torch Bright!
 * Torch Get Low!
 * More Burning!
 * You No Stay!

Also, they have a certain degree of discipline: they do not eat any food on the ground and stay near the Pig Torch to keep it lit. They will chase away normal Pigs if they stray to close to them.

Guardian Pigs' behaviour changes according to the location of their Pig Torch. If the torch is beside a Pig King, the guardians will reluctantly allow the player to stay and trade with their king. However, if the torch guards a fortress or is far from the king, the Guardian Pigs will pursue the player until they've run a certain distance from their torch.
