Piggy Bancon
CharacterPiggy Bancon was a Wolf-level mysterious being that surfaced in Z-City thirteen years before the main story, shaped like a giant grinning piggy bank. More nuisance than killer, he hounded people for spare coins and bolted from the police before Earth's military and police forces finally brought him down.
Appearance
He looked like an oversized, beaming piggy bank, coin slot and all, with a ribbon tied at his neck and bare, hairy human limbs poking out through cracks in his ceramic torso. He could stand upright, but reached top speed loping on all fours. Game appearances give him a glossy pink shell, flesh-toned arms and legs, and a blue ribbon.
Personality
For all how unsettling he looked, Piggy Bancon wanted only one thing: coins dropped into his slot. He either strong-armed victims into paying up or barreled into them to shake loose any change, then fled at once, far more interested in dodging capture than in doing real harm.
History
He turned up in Z-City one afternoon during a twelve-year-old Saitama's second day of middle school, injuring several officers and escaping while news cameras caught the chase, marking the first mysterious being sighting in ten months. The next day, after bullies shook Saitama down for 200 yen, Piggy Bancon ambushed them and forced the money into himself. A frustrated Saitama gave chase and was rammed unconscious, never recovering his cash, and police and military soon cornered and killed the monster.
His threat was modest by series standards, but he hit hard enough to slam Saitama into a wall and leave a crater, and his speed let him outrun crowds and punch through solid barriers. He also turns up as a boss in several One-Punch Man games, where he attacks by spinning his body and dropping his full weight on enemies.
