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 and cannot be attacked.
During the day, the player can make offerings to the Pig King in exchange for Gold Nuggets. At Night, the Pig King goes to sleep and cannot be traded with. He will not hold any grudge towards the player, even if they kill his fellow pigs or his Guardian Pigs.
In Adventure Mode, worlds may have different chances of encountering the Pig King based on the specific world's individual rules.

Don't Starve TogetherEdit
During the Hallowed Nights event in Don't Starve Together, the Pig King gives Halloween Candy instead of Gold Nuggets. If the player is wearing a Halloween Costume Skin, the amount of Candy will be increased.
During the Year of the Pig King event, the Pig King gets a new look. If given a Golden Belt, he will initiate a mini-game where the king's group of Elite Pigs arrive to face off against the players. The Pig King will throw signs for players to attack with and Lucky Gold Nuggets for players to collect.
TipsEdit
- Meat that is 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.
TriviaEdit
- The Pig King will throw the gold towards the player's camera. Turning the camera will cause the gold to land in a different place.
- Humorously, the Pig King will refuse a haunting from a Ghost Character in Don't Starve Together.
- There is a Pig King Vignette in Don't Starve Together. Its flavor text provides a little background for the Pig King and his followers: "Legend has it the Pig King and his followers left their home long ago to rule freely in The Constant."
- Depictions of the Pig King appear in the Don't Starve: Hamlet DLC. For example, one of the Intricate Topiaries is shaped like him.
BugsEdit
- Sometimes, the Pig King does not spawn in Sandbox Mode because there is not enough space for its Set Piece to be created during the world generation.
