What kind of Buddha is Pig Bajie?

Pig Bajie is not a Buddha, but an altar messenger.

Pig Bajie didn't become a Buddha in the end and was named an altar messenger. Zhu Bajie, also known as Zhu, is one of the four great figures in the novel The Journey to the West in the Ming Dynasty. His nickname is Wuneng. He is the second disciple of Tang Priest, the second brother of the Monkey King and the second brother of Friar Sand.

Pig Bajie was the "Marshal Tian Peng" who was in charge of the 80,000 Water Army in Tianhe in his previous life. He has always worshipped gorgeous immortals (Chang 'e I members), and all immortals in Journey to the West basically borrowed orthodox fairy records. It can be seen from this episode of Pig Bajie in Gaolaozhuang that Marshal Tian Peng in the former life of Pig Bajie was the water god Tianhe Xian Festival.
