King Leonard Mudbeard

Personality:   Leonard can be very upbeat, positive, and fun-loving. He is certainly seen to be like this around his fellow pigs, and at least when he is with them, these seem to be genuine traits about him. However, these can also be used as weapons of sorts, as they can be disarming toward others to hide his true colors. In other words, these can be his real qualities at times, but a front at others.At these other times, Leonard can be, and is shown to be, a very tyrannical, controlling, and manipulative individual. He demonstrates these qualities when he interacts with his right-hand man, Ross, shaming him for messing up their entrance on Bird Island. He has no fears or doubts when going onto Bird Island and greets the birds with confidence by making his entrance loud and obvious. Combined with the behavior of an international ambassador and a used car salesman, Leonard is honest, charming, attractive, and charismatic, so he speaks in a very confident, boisterous, enthusiastic manner, and he just might be full of baloney and hogwash, depending on whom you ask. He also proves to be the most intelligent of the pigs, as any dimwittedness from him is exceptionally rare to see. In one scene, when he spots Red breaking into his castle, he informs three pig guards, "There's a red bird in these walls!" As such, the pig guards check on the wall they were standing near, but this infuriates an already annoyed Leonard enough to remind them that his previous statement was not to be taken literally, causing the embarrassed pig guards to search around the castle. He is also very quick to think on his feet, as shown by him covering in such a masterful manner after Red confronts him about finding the hundreds of other pigs hiding on his ship.Below all of these traits lie Leonard's even colder, more despicable traits. He is also incredibly cruel and vindictive, particularly when he is furious or desperate. When he finds out that Red, Chuck, Bomb, and the other birds are invading his kingdom, he purposely, maliciously announces his change of plans for the eggs (his altered plans to eat them sooner than initially planned) over a far-reaching intercom that he clearly knows will reach the birds' ears, possibly to psychologically knock them all off balance (which, very briefly, he does). He also orders the slaughter of the birds during the invasion of his kingdom, all while hiding it under the guise of defending against an "unprovoked aggression." He also thinks nothing of wanting to cook Red and Mighty Eagle when they end up cornered by him and his men, thus intending to murder them along with the prospective baby Birds in the eggs, further displaying his viciousness and cruelty, as he also does not seem to care that the eggs might contain baby birds that could be close to hatching, and that he might be killing them, as well. And finally, in his last desperate act, he shows this again when he attempts to cook the final remaining egg in front of Red, likely to try and mentally, emotionally break him for his attack on his kingdom.Leonard is even proud of the aspects of his character that make him so evil, given how many evil grins he displays and evil laughs he lets out after his true colors are revealed. He is also very quick and very proud to admit to Red how much planning goes into his "sinister plans" during the climax of the first film, showing that (at least in the first film) he not only knows that he is a villain, but he also loves being one.However, Leonard's one redeeming quality is the love that he has for his people. He is shown to never want to extremely hurt his fellow pigs and even shows them care and respect (at least most of the time). His people seem to genuinely respect him as their king, and he does appear to be a good, solid, capable ruler. Sadly, in the first film, in particular, this can be lost in the sea of his more terrifying qualities.Leonard is a green, anthropomorphic pig with a chubby build, thick, dark-green eyebrows, and a full, dark-green beard. He also has black eyes. He first appears without a crown. Later, when he steals all of the eggs, along with the Pigs, to be taken to Piggy Island, Leonard is seen wearing a crown on his head, adorned with rubies and sapphires, as opposed to only several sapphire gems. His first outfit during the theatrical trailer is his red, sporty attire, and during the battle against the birds, in the third and final theatrical trailer, Leonard wears only his king's red cape with a white-black-fur-trim collar, along with his ruby and sapphire crown.
