Pequeninos


 

The Pequeninos (Portuguese for "little ones") or piggies are a fictional alien species in the Ender's Game series of books by Orson Scott Card. Forest-dwelling, small and technologically primitive, they were discovered by human colonists on the planet of Lusitania, and given the name "piggies" because of their generally pig-like appearance.
