Archie the Scare Pig is a character in Monsters University. [1] He is Fear Tech's mascot, and appears as a pet owned by Sulley. His appearance seems to be derived from a six-legged pig with goat horns and eyes reminiscent of those of a fly; the insignia of Fear Tech, MU's rival college, is seen on his side. On an appearance by John Goodman on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, a clip from the film was showcased in which Mike and Sulley try to get Archie out from under the bed in their dorm immediately after meeting each other. Sulley chases the pig, and accidentally causes a bookcase to fall on him, at which point he introduces himself to Mike. Soon after, Archie steals Mike's hat and jumps out the window.[2]

Trivia

  • The design of Archie the Scare Pig was inspired by director Dan Scanlon’s dog Carol, a Japanese Chin.[3]
