Appearance

A huge, heavyset figure, Pig God has short black hair, thick lips, and a build defined by his sheer bulk. He dresses plainly in a long black top over a white shirt, once reading DEV and later BUTA, the Japanese word for pig, paired with blue jeans. After burning through his reserves against the Monster Association he slimmed down drastically, his fat gone, leaving a lean young man with heavy bags under his eyes.

Personality

Nearly always eating, Pig God seems endlessly hungry and speaks only when he must, letting his actions carry the weight. Beneath the silence sits a deeply caring, selfless hero: he tended to Sosshi's wound even after being kicked by him, shielded Atomic Samurai's disciples and Child Emperor with his own body, and quietly picked up strangers' meal tabs. He also holds a firm sense of duty, slipping out of the hospital while still hurt to hunt down any Monster Association stragglers.

Abilities

His signature gift is an inhuman digestive system that breaks down swallowed monsters almost at once, yet he controls it so precisely that he can hold living people, such as Atomic Samurai's three disciples, safely in his stomach and spit them back out unharmed. A dense coat of fat absorbs nearly any impact, so tough that the Dragon-level Gums could not bite through it, and it doubles as armor against poison and acid; Eyesight's venom never reached his blood, and he briefly withstood the acids inside Gums' gut.

His body stretches without tearing, letting him gulp down foes far larger than himself, as he did with The Great Food Tub. On top of that he wields immense strength, surprising speed for his size, and the endurance to keep fighting through serious wounds. He also claims to hold a hidden power he has never used, apparently reserving it for a God-level threat, which hints at reserves well beyond anything he has shown. It all comes at a cost, though: spend too much energy and his fat melts away, leaving him weakened and slow.
