🐷 The Swashbuckling World of Sea-Faring Swine

In the whimsical waters of Sea of Thieves, pirates aren't just known for their plunder and peril — they're also known for their pets. And among the parrots and monkeys, one unlikely animal has squealed its way into players' hearts: the humble pig.

Since their debut in the Pirate Emporium, pig companions have become a staple for stylish seadogs everywhere. With adorable outfits, irresistible snorts, and surprisingly pun-filled names, these porky pals are anything but ordinary.

Naming your pig is an art form, and the Sea of Thieves community has certainly embraced the challenge with gusto (and a healthy dose of meme energy). Over the first few weeks of their release, a treasure trove of clever, quirky, and downright hilarious names emerged. From pop culture nods to classic puns, here's a peek into the top trends:

And yes, while names like “Captain Oink” and “Kevin Bacon” seemed like surefire picks, they didn’t quite crack the top ten — proof that the seas are full of surprises.

Among the various pig companions available, one has emerged as the undisputed fan favorite: Truffle. With a dainty eye patch and undeniable charm, Truffle has captured the hearts (and Ancient Coins) of countless pirates. Is it the name? The outfit? The mysterious allure of a pig with secrets? Whatever the reason, Truffle’s popularity is no fluke.

Pigs in Sea of Thieves aren’t just pets — they’re crewmates, mascots, and mood-boosters. They ride in your arms during stormy battles, squeal in delight on sun-drenched shores, and, thanks to some truly creative naming, become little legends of their own.

Whether you're a seasoned captain or a freshly-dubbed swabbie, one thing's for sure: adding a pig to your crew is a choice you won’t regret. After all, every ship sails smoother with a side of snorts and snuffles.
