How heavy is a Hog Rider?

300 kg661 lb

The Hog Rider weighs about 300 kg (roughly 660 lb) by our estimate: a burly 90 kg rider with his hammer, plus a hog of about 210 kg. Supercell has never given an official weight. The hog is by far the heavier part, so the total depends mostly on how big you think it is.

Where the 300 kg comes from

Supercell gives no weight and no height, so we built it up from the parts. The rider is a big, muscular man, shirtless apart from a loincloth and gold wristbands. We put him at about 85 kg. His hammer looks like a heavy sledgehammer, and real ones have heads of 4.5 to 9 kg, so rider and hammer come to about 90 kg.

The hog is the hard part. The Clash of Clans Wiki describes it as about half the rider’s height, so roughly 90 cm tall. A lean wild boar that size, like the big males of Eastern Europe (about 95 cm at the shoulder), weighs 110 to 130 kg. Adult farm pigs run from 140 to 300 kg. The heaviest pig on record, Big Bill, stood 1.5 m at the shoulder and weighed 1,157 kg; shrunk to 90 cm (0.6 of his height, so 0.6 × 0.6 × 0.6, about 0.22 of his weight) he would be about 250 kg.

This hog is clearly well fed and strong enough to carry a grown man over walls, so we put it between the lean boar and the fat farm pig, at about 210 kg. Add the rider and you get roughly 300 kg. Treat it as a ballpark: a smaller warthog-sized hog brings the total down to about 240 kg, a heavy farm hog takes it near 390 kg.

What Clash Royale’s game files say

Clash Royale gives every troop a mass value, used when units bump into each other. The Hog Rider has a mass of 4, the same as the Barbarian and the Mini P.E.K.K.A. The riderless Royal Hogs have 2, and P.E.K.K.A has 18. Scaled from a 95 kg Barbarian, that would make the Hog Rider, hog and all, about 95 kg.

We don’t take that literally. The game clearly doesn’t count mounts in full: the Prince on his pony has a mass of 6, exactly the same as the Knight on foot. Mass is a balance setting that decides who gets shoved aside, not a measurement, and no man and pig together weigh what a single Barbarian does.

Light enough for a Spring Trap

In Clash of Clans, housing space is the closest thing to weight. A Hog Rider takes 5 spaces, and even a level 1 Spring Trap can fling up to 10, so any Spring Trap launches a Hog Rider, hog included, clean off the map. P.E.K.K.A, at 25 spaces, is too heavy to be thrown out. Hog Riders are not quite fast enough to skip over the trap either, since only troops with a speed of 32 or more get past before it fires, and the Hog Rider’s is 24.

About as heavy

Questions

How much does the Hog Rider weigh in pounds?

About 660 lb (300 kg) by our estimate, for the rider and his hog together. Depending on how big the hog is, a reasonable range is about 530 to 860 lb.

Does the Hog Rider have an official weight?

No. Supercell has never published a weight or height for him or his hog. Clash Royale’s files give him a mass of 4, but that is a gameplay value with no unit, the same as a lone Barbarian.

What kind of pig is the Hog Rider’s hog?

The games never say. The Clash of Clans and Clash Royale wikis suggest a common warthog because of its tusks. Male warthogs weigh 60 to 150 kg, which is lighter than our 210 kg estimate, built from wild boars and farm pigs.

Is the Hog Rider heavier than P.E.K.K.A?

No. Our estimates put the Hog Rider at about 300 kg and P.E.K.K.A at about 400 kg. The games agree on the order: in Clash Royale his mass is 4 against her 18, and in Clash of Clans he takes 5 housing spaces against her 25.

What is the heaviest pig ever?

Big Bill, a Poland China hog from Tennessee, weighed 1,157 kg (2,552 lb) in 1933. A Hog Rider on Big Bill would weigh about 1.25 tonnes.
