Pigge has similar attributes to Hippoe, but with 50% more health. She is quicker in both speed and attack than previously encountered enemies.
Strategy
This is the second "boss enemy" fought in the game, similar to Hippoe. However, this early in the game, Red enemies are nothing more but opponents with a huge disadvantage. To kill her easily, focus on anti-Red Cats like Axe Cat or Ninja Cat. Gross Cat and/or Lizard Cat also work well against Pigge, as they can deal a lot of damage and have long range.
Later in the game, Pigge is nothing more than a meatshield for stronger enemies, like in Boiling Spring or Fainting Porch, or even a free source of money, so she can be taken out easily by almost any attacker.
A much bigger version of Pigge which usually replaces Pigge in Stories of Legend. Doesn't wait between attack animations, has much more health in proportion to her attack power, and twice as many knockbacks.
Zombie variant of Pigge. Has higher health and damage, is a little bit faster, and can knockback units. Like most Zombies, she can burrow past cats and revive once with 50% HP.
Pigge's name in the original English version was "Elizabitch". This is referenced by her Japanese description which states her real name is Elizabeth and that she was given a nickname that she doesn't admit. This theme is later carried on with St. Pigge the 2nd's royal motif, Zigge's description's references to her being a past monarch, and in Elizabeth the LVIth, who not only has the royal motif of St. Pigge the 2nd, but is even named Elizabeth.
