The diligent, waddling old statesman (or woman, I'm no bigot) of the tundra. The Pengum is an obvious example of a Piñata drawn in from different climes. Still looks good in non-resident monochrome too.

Trivia

  • The Pengum seems to be based off the rockhopper penguin.
  • The accessories worn by the Pengum to romance form a costume, and is likely the first set discovered by the player. Dressing a piñata in a costume earns the Fancy Dresser achievement.
