Description
Hawk, introduced as a talking pig companion to Meliodas, serves as the custodian of the Boar Hat bar, cleaning food scraps. His origins trace back to Purgatory, where he was born named Mild and lived with his older brother Wild. The Demon King kidnapped him as an infant to spy on Meliodas, using Hawk as a living portal between the living world and Purgatory, enabling observation through Hawk's eyes. Sent to the living world, Hawk lost all memory of his Purgatory past.
Ten years before the main events, Hawk lived peacefully with his mother near Camelot. Discovering an unconscious Meliodas, he brought him to safety. Hawk mentioned a restaurant named Pig Leg where he enjoyed leftovers, inspiring Meliodas to establish the mobile pub "The Boar Hat" on Hawk's mother's back, with Hawk as the cleaner consuming scraps.
His appearance features a pink, rotund body with short legs, a clover-shaped birthmark on his rump, and an earring labeled "star boar" on his left ear. This earring was later replaced by Balor's Magical Eye, a gift from Merlin enabling power-level assessment. Hawk's personality blends pride and cowardice; he frequently boasts about his strength, comparing it to the Demon King's, yet displays fear facing overwhelming opponents. He exhibits strong loyalty, particularly acting as a protective figure for Elizabeth, and often calls for his mother's aid when distressed.
His abilities include an acute sense of smell detecting objects like leftovers from 1.2 miles away, aiding in tracking. He manipulates objects with his hooves and ears, showcasing dexterity. Combat techniques involve charging attacks like "Rolling Ham Attack" and "Super Pork-Loin Illusion," creating clones to confuse targets. A key ability is "Transpork," granting temporary transformations by consuming specific substances:
- Tyrant Dragon (fire-breathing and flight after eating dragon guts).
- Sand Crawler (burrowing after ingesting an Earth Crawler).
- Red Demon (darkness manipulation from demon flesh).
- Sky Manta (flight via Merlin's Monster Block).
Hawk's relationships are central. He shares a contentious yet caring bond with Meliodas, aiding in founding the Boar Hat. He acts as a guardian to Elizabeth, reprimanding Meliodas for inappropriate behavior. His devotion to his mother, Hawk Mama, is recurring, seeking her help when endangered. Among the Seven Deadly Sins, he maintains a playful rivalry with King (who uses nicknames like "Mr. Pig") and a supportive dynamic with Ban (who addresses him as "Master").
In *Dragon's Judgement*, Hawk's Purgatory origins become plot-relevant. His role as a portal enables Merlin to send Ban into Purgatory to rescue Meliodas. Hawk's brother, Wild, appears in Purgatory, revealing their shared history and the Demon King's manipulation. Hawk participates in key battles, including efforts to prevent Meliodas from becoming the Demon King, often in a supportive role.
Additional trivia includes his original translated name "Hork" (a reference to vomiting), his weight of 309 pounds, and his aspiration to become the strongest pig. Creator Nakaba Suzuki noted Hawk's design parallels with Kirby, given his consumption-based powers. Biologically, he is a Purgatory-native creature, not a conventional pig.
