Penguin (pet)

Penguins are pets that can be incubated at a pet shop at level 30 Summoning. Penguin eggs can be obtained by talking to the Ardougne Zoo penguin keeper. On average, they take about around 12 hours to hatch once put in the incubator. After hatching, a baby penguin eats raw fish and will mature into a grown penguin over time. Baby penguins come in the colors of blue and black. When taken from the incubator, the player taking the penguin will get a message saying "There is a newborn baby penguin here!"

Growth Rate
When the baby penguin is born, for every 10% hunger it gains, it grows by 1%.



Different colourings
Penguins can come in shades of reddish grey, bluish grey, or plain grey.





Chat
At level 40 summoning, you can understand the penguin.

Penguin: Awk Awk! (This is fun!) Player: What's fun? Penguin: Awk! (This!) Player: I'm glad someone's enjoying themself...

Or

Penguin: Awkawk awk awk. (Dis place is rather dull.) Player: It'll liven up in a while, I'm sure. Penguin: Awkawk awk awk! (I know, let's go visit the zoo!) Player: Hmm, I dunno, the penguins there are a bit shifty. You shouldn't mix with them.

Or

Penguin: Awwk... (I'm much too warm here...) Player: Well, just give me a little while longer and maybe we'll go find some ice for you. Penguin: Awk! Awkawk awk awk. (Yay! Don't be too long.)

Penguin: Awwwwwwwwk? (Are we gonna be here much longer?) Player: Why? Is there someplace else where you'd rather be? Penguin: Awk awk awk! (For sure. Somewhere colder! Like the Motherland...)

Or, when at a snowy area

Penguin: Awk! (Slide!) Player: You want me to slide? Penguin: Awwwwwwwwwwwwk! (Sliiiiiiide!) Player: I can't; I don't know how. You have fun with it though. Penguin: Awk! (Slide!)

Trivia

 * If you take your penguin to a really snowy place, he will slide on his belly.
 * Pet penguins are the offspring of the evil penguins from Cold War and they have been revealed as part of the plot line in Postbag from the Hedge 35.
 * "Slide" could be a reference to the movie Fight Club.
