piglike
Resembling a swine
Piglike means resembling a pig in appearance, behavior, or manner.
The word usually carries unflattering connotations—greed, messiness, or coarse features: his piglike snout, piglike grunting sounds, piglike table manners.
Occasionally neutral in zoological contexts describing animals with pig-resembling characteristics.
