Domestic Pig is a type of Friend who was first revealed as part of a collaboration with Bio Park Nagasaki.
Appearance
Domestic Pig is distinguished by her colour scheme, being almost entirely white and rose pink (the latter being the stereotypical skin colour of a pig). She also wears the same pig's-snout decoration in her hair as the one worn by Collared Peccary.
Her hair itself is bob-cut and a very light pink colour, along with her pig ears which fade to a darker shade at the tips. Her eyes are dark brown.
She wears a short-sleeved, short-skirted dress that appears to be double-breasted - the buttons, 8 total arranged in 4 sets of 2, presumably affect the teats of a pig. The hemline and sleeve edges are ruffled, as are the edges of her white gloves. Completing it are two pink bowties; one worn as a choker, and a much larger one tied around the dress's waist.
She wears pink, thigh-high stockings that fade to toes. Two more pink bowties are worn around her ankles facing backward. Her grey-brown high-heel shoes are cleft in the middle to resemble the hooves of her namesake animal.

In Real Life
The domestic pig is a domesticated large, even-toed ungulate, variously considered a subspecies of the wild boar or a distinct species.
In many ways, their behaviour appears to be intermediate between that of other even-toed ungulates (such as sheep, camels and giraffes) and of carnivores. Domestic pigs seek out the company of other pigs, and often huddle to maintain physical contact, although they do not naturally form large herds. They typically live in groups of about 8-10 adult sows, some young individuals, and some single males. Pigs are omnivorous, and are highly versatile in their feeding behaviour; however, as they are foraging animals, they primarily eat leaves, stems, roots, fruits, and flowers.
When used as livestock, domestic pigs are farmed primarily for the consumption of their flesh, called pork. The animal's bones, hide, and bristles are also used in commercial products. Domestic pigs, especially miniature breeds, are kept as pets.
