― Soldier's description, Piggy: Hunt
Soldier is a skin in Piggy. They were added when Outpost - Chapter 11 was released alongside Torcher. Many of them also appear as secondary bots in Outpost. They also appear in the ending cutscene of Plant - Chapter 12 in the Good and True Ending as well as the Piggy: Book 1 credits.
Appearance
Soldier is a salmon pink pig with a pig nose (pink snout and dark pink nostrils), and round ears. They wear a green army uniform with a matching-colored helmet, a brown belt with suspenders, and greenish-brown gloves, along with gray pants and black boots. They have a burning scar on the right side of their head. Soldier has a yellow pupil on their left eye with black sclera and a singular, persimmon cheek on the left side of their face. Their right leg appears to have been misshapen as it's shown that they walk around with a limp.
Looks similar to their original game counterpart, but the burn scar is more reddish in color, they have a more detailed brown belt and their skin and uniform are darker and dirtier.
Animations
Idle
Stands upright while slightly leaning forward and having arms spread to the sides. Looks forward and has the left leg in front, while the other is twisted to the right and in the back. Their right arm is slightly bending backwards.
Walking
Same as idle but the legs are moving in a walking motion.
Jumpscare
Brings the knife up as they move their left arm behind as they tilt to the left, then swings it at the player, moving their left arm further back as they tilt to the right.
Stunned
Looks down and puts arms down, with occasional head twitching (overlays the current animation).
Defeat
Looks upwards and falls into the ground, with hands raised. Then it disappears into the ground.
Trivia
- This skin was leaked on MiniToon's Twitter account a day before the skin was added into the game.[1]
- In Outpost, they are a secondary bot that wanders around. They don't chase you, but if you walk into them, they will kill you.
- Their right leg seems to be sideways, possibly meaning their leg got broken in battle. They are the first skin to do this with the second being Dakoda and the third being Markus.
- This skin and Torcher are tied for the first skin to have footwear. They are both also the first skins to wear, suspenders, belts and gloves.
- They are the first secondary bot not to have a soundtrack.
- Although their gender varies as there are several Soldiers in the Piggy universe, they are referred to as a he in their description in Piggy: Hunt. This applies to Torcher.
- When zooming into their belt, you can see their torso slightly overlaps it.
- This skin's AI in Outpost is similar to Foxy, as they will move in different directions randomly.
- In Build Mode, any friendly stunning NPC (except Bunny) can accidentally knock out a soldier if they run into them.
- Soldier, Porter, Ben, Mary and Eloise are the only NPCs to appear multiple times in a single chapter at the same time.
- They can activate Zompiggy with the Tombstone Trap when they wake up if you put them in their spawn location.
- Strangely, their ears are larger than the other pig-like skins. This applies to Gryffyn.
- Soldier, alongside many other older skins, still has the old glass head material.

- Additionally, Soldier is the only one out of the four of them to lack a particle effect in their jumpscare.

- In the credits of Book 1, there are a bunch of uninfected soldiers, two of which are conversing with one another.
- In Build Mode, sometimes they will spawn with a blocky rig-like version of themselves, excluding their heads because they are custom made.

- Soldier shares their walking animation with Ghosty.
- Stunning Soldier when selected as the main bot in a Build Mode map will cause them to be stunned forever.
