Pigman

Alongside Zombie Pigmen, Notch confirmed adding living pigmen. These would not appear in The Nether, but would possibly appear in a passive variation of a mob village.

There is a possibility that they will drop porkchops, like Pigs and Zombie Pigmen.

A living pigman texture can be found in the .jar file (shown right), although pigmen cannot spawn naturally in the game yet. Notch has recently mentioned adding pigmen again but in NPC villages instead of freely walking. These villages will not be made by the pigmen though; they will be premade and uploaded into the world.

Like zombies, the pigman mob texture can be used as a player skin because it has the same dimensions. It also uses the same textures from the pig skin, just stretched out. This was the base texture used when making the Zombie Pigmen mob skin.

As of the 2 april 2011, a user named MsMenar find, in the beta 1.4 JAR, a code and special information about pigmen, there is it:

Pigmen could be spawned in a future biome. Named Wyxus. Pigmen drop raw porkchop. Pigmen can only wear iron swords and pickaxes. There will be NPC villlage. Pigmen build these. Pigmen don't de-spawn for an unknown reason. These Pigmen will probably be tamable...

Trivia

 * Rumored to have been the "secret item" for Beta release by many Minecrafters, but was false and proven wrong by Notch himself.
 * Pigmen have the same shape as Zombie Pigmen, Zombie, and Player.
 * The Pigmen skin is a stretched version of the original Pig skin.
 * This is impossible to do a mod unless if you use MyCraft.
