your stats are just a little off, JmT
Animals have a Base Attack Bonus equal to a cleric and Fort and Refl saves are both usually 'good' (base saves Fort +2, Refl +2, Will +0,)
so the changes to the rockhopper would be:
saves: Fort +2, (base +2, +0 Con)
---------Refl +4, (base +2, +2 Dex)
---------Will +1 (Base +0, +1 Wis)
Attack Bonus: +0 base, +1 size, +2 weapon finesse = +3
the Emperor
saves: Fort +5, (base +3, +2 Con)
---------Ref +5, (base +3, +2 dex)
---------Will +1 (base +0, +1 Wis)
Attack Bonus: +1 base, +0 size, +2 weapon finesse = +3
i'm pretty sure that's right...

While this cracks me up, I can't believe that a penguin's peck is gonna do more damage than an eagle's beak.
Emperor penguins don't usually reach 4 feet tall, or 100 pounds -- I think they should be small critters. To fix the damage, I'd give them a strength of 8 (10 if you're feeling generous toward penguins -- an understandable sentiment) and make the emperors size small, with a bite damage of 1d2 -- same as a donkey's. To make up for it, you could consider giving them a flap attack (one site i looked at said a penguin's flippers could break your fingers), and give them the weapon finesse (peck) feat when in the water.
Penguins on land don't exactly conjure the word "finesse." For that reason, I'd give them a -6 cirumstance penalty to dexterity on land.
