~ Porkrind expressing his hatred towards the cup brothers in The Cuphead Show! |
Porkrind is a minor supporting character in the 2017 video game Cuphead. He is the shopkeeper of his namesake emporium, which sells various weapons and charms Cuphead and Mugman can purchase to use against Bosses.
In the Netflix series, he is voiced Cosmo Segurson.
Appearance[]
Porkrind is an anthropomorphic pig. He has a portly, yet somewhat muscular build, with skin color similar to humans, a pink snout, and a black curled mustache similar to those typically worn by cartoon villains. Only his upper body is visible.
He wears a grey shirt with white hems, brown overalls, and a black eyepatch with a grey band, suggesting that he may have lost an eye in a past accident or is otherwise just cosmetic.
Personality[]
In the game, Porkrind is shown to be rather polite despite his intimidating appearance as evidenced by him welcoming Cuphead and/or Mugman upon them entering his shop and saying goodbye to them when they leave. He was also considerate enough to teach the brothers how to equip the items they've purchased upon leaving his shop. However, his courtesy might just be for when the brothers do business with him as he calls them "bums" when he tells them about equipping items.
In The Cuphead Show!, Porkrind is shown to dislike Cuphead and Mugman as their antics easily annoy him and even daydreams of killing them, but he still does business with them nevertheless. He seems to enjoy listening to horse racing on the radio and gets a bit paranoid whenever he sells products from the black market. Despite his dislike of the Cup brothers, he is shown to be more tolerant of them when they aren't annoying him. Additionally, he also seems to hold some amount of respect for Cuphead as shown in the episode "Dangerous Mugman", where points out his bravery. Considering that he calls Mugman out for his cowardice immediately after, he was most likely being truthful when he said this. In season 3, he started to feel guilt for having them deliver explosive shoes to Ribby and when they came back with it, he saved the brothers, including Chalice, from the shoes' explosive impact.
Role[]
Porkrind is one of the few residents of the Inkwell Islands that is automatically an ally to the Cuphead and Mugman (largely because the Devil does not have a contract for his soul). He uses his emporium to allow the brothers to spend any coins they collected on their adventure to obtain various weapons and charms to use against the bosses scattered throughout the islands. Each weapon and charm has their own strengths and weaknesses, so the brothers much choose which ones to use in each of the boss battles respectively.
