Trivia
- "War Pigs" is a 1970 anti-war song by the English heavy metal band Black Sabbath.
- The helmet shape is loosely based on the Koopa Troopa shell from the Super Mario Bros franchise.[1]
- War pigs were pigs or boars used in ancient warfare as a countermeasure against war elephants. They were often set on fire, causing the enemy's elephants to bolt in terror from the flaming, squealing pigs, often killing great numbers of their own soldiers.
