The Penguin is a tier 7 animal. It is based on the Adelie Penguin, Pygoscelis adeliae.[1]

Mechanics[]

  • tier 6 animals evolve into penguin.
    • 36,000 XP is required for any of those animals to evolve into a penguin.
  • Penguins evolve into tier 8 animals (player-determined).
    • 42,000 XP is required for a penguin to evolve into any of those animals.
  • Penguins drop meat upon death.
  • As a penguin, friendly fire is turned off for other penguins: meaning you cannot damage them nor be damaged by them.
  • You cannot hurt Baby Penguins. (Custom Servers only)

Abilities[]

Active Abilities[]

  • Clicking while walking causes you to ground attack.
  • Charge boosting while walking causes you to jump.
  • Boosting while not walking causes you to dash and deal 25% more damage to animals you hit.

Suitable Biomes[]

  • The suitable biomes for the penguin are the arctic and the arctic surface.
    • If a penguin enters the ocean, it will lose oxygen and temperature.
    • If a penguin enters the ocean surface, it will lose temperature.
    • If a penguin enters the arctic, it will lose oxygen; however it can swim and its oxygen time is long enough for this to not matter.
    • If a penguin enters the deeeep, it will lose oxygen and pressure.
    • If a penguin enters the swamp, it will lose oxygen, temperature, and salinity.
    • If a penguin enters the swamp surface, it will lose temperature and it will not regenerate salinity.

This is a complete list of food that penguins can eat.

Skins[]

Skins are cosmetics used to change an animal's looks, or sometimes, an animal’s biome or size statistics slightly. The table below shows the list of approved skins that can be used for the Penguin.

Realistic skins can be used in every time of the year. They are mostly based on real-life species, or adjectives such as 'Battle-Scarred' or 'Dark'.
