Penguin-type PC races out there?..and an F.Realms question.

[Emirikol]

Are there any Penguin-type PC races out there? Considering their current popularity, there's got to be something!

[edit: Ponderous question: are penguins present at the northern caps of the Forgotten Realms or the World of Greyhawk? ]

Check your old Spelljammer stuff, don't have access to it here at work. But there is something there.

Sorry, I sold that stuff probably 15 years ago...

They were the dohwar. Mercantile and ambitious. Their ships were designed after giant penguins, if I remember correctly.

Seriously? I think I recall something like that. Could the ships go underwater? (joking) were the ships flightless?

I was hoping that the rare, bread-tufted Nifft would appear for this one (sorry Nifft, it just sounded right).

Quick search turns this up.

Sadly, when it comes to images, the googles, they do nothing.

Anyone got a pic of Dohwar, or willing to scan one in?

There has been no mention of it in any FR product.

If it's analogous to Earth, then the answer would be "no".

And that wins the "funniest thing I've read at ENWorld all week" award. (Yeah, it's a crappy award...)

I agree.

There was once, but those orca guys from Stormwrack ate 'em all.

I've not got a pic, nor could I find one, but the link you posted had a pretty apt description:

This humanoid looks like a four foot tall penguin dressed in a garish mishmash of clashing clothes.
