Fifer Pig is the first to be introduced. He is named for his ability to play the flute. His home was built of straws and hay. Both Fifer and Fiddler are equally jolly, lazy, and cowardly. They believe that hard work should be disregarded, in favor of fun and games—even when said work is for their own protection. Foolhardy, they constantly downplay the wolf and other forest dangers, only to find themselves in grave peril due to their arrogance. This makes them easily susceptible to the wolf’s schemes. They are also incredibly stubborn, as they consistently refuse to adhere to Practical Pig’s advice. Fifer and Fiddler are nevertheless friendly and extroverted, becoming fast friends with Little Red Riding Hood, for instance. They can also be clever on occasion, as seen in Three Little Wolves where they trick the wolf and his sons into exposing their schemes to Practical Pig.
