Pengum

Pengums left the jungles of Piñata Island to avoid a lifetime of servitude. The bigger, meaner Piñatas forced them to work as waiters. When they found the Piñata Island ice fields, they thought they'd found a safe new home. Unfortunately, they were penniless, so they set up a cafe where they could... er, serve the other Piñatas.

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.
