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

[Faraer]

There are penguins on the Sea of Moving Ice, per FR5 The Savage Frontier p. 36.

Well, there is an artifact in the Realms called the Moonpenguin of Boof. It's from the comics, but I've got no idea what it does, where it comes from, or if it's even real.

It's real and in the possession of Maskar Wands.

It's probably related to the obscure deity Boof the Moonpenguin.

I believe they are also called "nuns".

Gotcha... so an entire race of Pen Pens ala Evangelion.

Hmm... You're right. I do see the resemblance:

So do I. Now we need a race of dohwar that lost their Spelljamming skills, and instead have become dancers.

Not only did the dohwar ride flying pigs, and travel in giant penguin ships, but they often employed the hippo-men giffs as bodyguards. I don't know about you, but they make me feel all warm and cuddly inside. What's not to love about them?

Since the duck men, Durluz, do not exist in D&D, I elect the dohwar as "Teh Kings of All the Bestest Races in D&D Evar"

(waits for a post from someone with no sense of humor to go on a rant about the ridiculousness of the whole idea and how the dohwar are what ruined SJ and 2ed and led to the stock market crash)

You forgot about spam! Damn peng'ins and their pump-and-dump stock emails!

Actually, the dohwar probably would be a race that utilizes spam as an effective weapon.

One of these days I have to find someone to d20 stat out the dire (Emperor) penguin.

Then I can proceed to my favorite lycnthrope, the WerePenguin!

I've already made them the theme to my 2006 NaNoWriMo, and they are at it again in my 2007 Script Frenzy play! Starting Flash Blonde, represetative to the United Nations for the Tourist Eating Land of Retired WerePenguins in the Antarctic Oasis!

And his lovely assistant Red Hot Blonde

Oh yea, I also need to stat out the regular (Adelie) penguin as well.

Aquatic Kenku? Pingu?

I remember the Ducks in Runequest (we unofficially made them extinct, it was such a crap idea) so why shouldn't there by Penguins?
Wasn't there a game with Killer Penguins? Pretty sure Irregular Miniatures did a figure.

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

ORL?
