The Penguin's body is colored one-half in black, and the other half in white. It has flippers which are colored black, which appear on the side of the penguin. It also has an orange beak.

Strategy[]
- The player can level up fast by eating Lemmings and shoot water pods (press
S) into brown mushrooms to create berries. Eating a Lemming is the fastest way of gaining XP. - The player can also use the slide ability to chase down prey who enter nearby ice, though there is no guarantee it will always be a successful hunt since ice is slippery, and prey gets flung far away when bitten. As such, farming for food at this tier is a better strategy to level up.
- The player can use the Penguin's "Slide On Ice" ability to escape predators. It should be noted however that the ability sacrifices control for speed; do not try to turn around or sideways to escape predators, but instead outrun them on the ice.
- Since Penguins have the passive ability of moving faster in water, the player can also escape in a lake.
