Penguin

A Penguin is an animal added by the Odyssey DLC.

Acquisition[edit]

Penguins can be bought and sold in other faction bases and from exotic goods traders. Penguins purchased from traders will be already tamed.

↑ Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It refers to the percentage of the super-part that this part covers, before its own sub-parts claim their own percentage. For example, if the base coverage of the super-part is 100%, and the coverage of the part is 20%, 20% of hits would hit the part, and 80% the super-part. If the part had its own sub-part with 50% coverage, the chances would be 10% sub-part, 10% part, 80% super part.
↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be be selected as the target when each part's coverage has been taken into account(I.E. Neck covers 7.5% of Torso but Head covers 80% of Neck so it actually has only a 1.5% chance to be selected). This is not pure hit chance, as different damage types propagate damage in different ways. See that page for details.
↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
↑ If Moving drops below 16% a pawn cannot move.
↑ Note that eating won't go below 10%.

Trivia[edit]

The penguin appears to be based off both (currently) extant species in the Aptenodytes genus. The juvenile penguin has the gray pattern of a juvenile emperor penguin, but the adult penguin has the cheek patches of a king penguin.
