'''Hogwash the Flying Pig'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Land'' instruction booklet, page 20.</ref>, or simply '''Hogwash''', is a species of flying pigs who appear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' and its loosely related children's novel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle]]''. Hogwash shares a name with the term "hogwash", which expresses nonsense or bunk. Their ability to fly is derived from the idiom "when pigs fly", when someone believes that something is not possible. | '''Hogwash the Flying Pig'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Land'' instruction booklet, page 20.</ref>, or simply '''Hogwash'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Land'', ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) WORLD EXCLUSIVE Review booklet, page 11.</ref>, is a species of flying pigs who appear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' and its loosely related children's novel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle]]''.
