These pigs are quite silly. I think they came about because most of my monsters are obviously magically created, and this one was created as a result of unrequited love. I can imagine them being a plot hook or a tavern story that turns out to be true.
I can't find an entry for pig in the MM and can no longer recall what animal the stats are based off.

These peaceful creatures are the creation of the Wizard Mindrath. As a young man, he confessed his undying love for Belladar, the beautiful daughter of the town's blacksmith. He pursued her for a time and eventually proposed. Belladar scorned his proposal saying she would marry him only "when pigs fly." Mindrath turned to the study of magic and worked to create a spell to make flying pigs. Eventually he succeeded. The creatures look like ordinary pink pigs with seagull's wings. Unfortunately for Mindrath, by the time he succeeded in his efforts, Belladar had married another man. Mindrath waits patiently in the hopes that Belladar will come to her senses and return his love.
