Guardian Pigs are aggressive Pigs that spawn from Pig Torches. They have higher Health than regular Pigs but drop the same resources. They cannot be bribed with Meat or attracted by a One-man Band, making them appear to be very loyal to their Pig King.
If a Guardian Pig is dead, it will respawn at its Pig Torch after 4 days. In Sandbox Mode, they may be located seemingly in the middle of nowhere, usually guarding small patches of Grass and Berry Bushes. While in Adventure Mode, they stay in the Pig Fortress, which is surrounded by Wood Walls.
Fighting Strategy
Below is the number of hits it takes with each weapon to kill a Guardian Pig when playing with characters with a default damage modifier. The Weather Pain, Brightshade Staff, and Bee Mine are not included due to their random natures. This table does not take into account the damage bonus gained from characters with a lunar or shadow affinity. It also does not take into account the 40% damage bonus Wendy gets from attacking the same mob as Abigail, Wanda's damage bonus with Shadow weapons (except for the Alarming Clock, which does accurately reflect that bonus), or Wolfgang's damage multiplier when he isn't mighty.

It takes 2 blasts with an Ice Staff to freeze Guardian Pig, and 3 Sleep Darts to put it to sleep.
Behavior
Guardian Pigs seem to have a certain degree of discipline, as 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 too close to them, as well as kill them if the pig is cornered or unable to get away before the Guardian Pig first attacks.
Guardian Pigs' behavior 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.
Apparel
Pigs can wear headgear items. Clicking on a Pig with a headgear item selected will equip it on the Pig.
If a Pig receives a head item, it will be able to receive its Protection, Planar Defense and others effects. The durability will still be drained same as the Player, like if he Pig gets damaged. Usually, the only way to get hats back from Pigs without killing them is to replace it with another hat, as fighting the Pig will break it before the Pig dies. Frogs can also make them drop a given hat, too. The Pigs can also wear the Miner Hat; while wearing it, they will provide light and not panic during dusk or in a Cave, while also preventing nearby Pigs from panicking.

Trivia
- Guardian Pigs' attack phrase "For great justice!" is a reference to the All your base Internet meme.
- Although they cannot be bribed, the player can still feed meat items to Guardian Pigs.
- If the player is killed by a Guardian Pig, their cause of death in the Morgue will be listed as "Guard Pig".
