Summary
The Toy Penguin is an Quest mob for the Christmas 2017, 2018 and 2019 events which resembles a small wind-up penguin toy. Looks can be deceiving, however, since they can inflict large amounts of damage when fought in groups.
Background Story
You may feel bad for hurting, perhaps even killing these poor things. But really, they're penguins that have been enslaved by the monstrous creature that is Yeti II. Turned into his playthings, they're simply his toys, mindless minions, set to do battle against his enemies. Really, you're putting them out of their misery.
However, these cute little things are now hunting you down, for the protection of their new homeland. Maybe you can feel a little more guilty into killing them, they are protecting their new home after all.
Tips
- Beware, these are slow on land but quick in the water!
- The water can instantly kill you in Quests, so avoid getting in contact with the Toy Penguins.
- Even in Bosses, the Toy Penguins can leave you stunned, allowing you to take damage from the boss.
- Don't get pushed around, shoot them.
- Punching these creatures is recommended, if you do not have a gun.
- Due to Toy Penguins going on groups, automatic weapons, explosives and shotguns are recommended.
- Pipebombs can lure them, leading to easy kills.
- This also applies to the Clockbomb.
- They are attracted by the Bell and the Phial of Galadriel will repel them.
- However, on the map Return of the Yeti, Pipebombs will glitch and not explode leading to a waste of your money.
- You can only kill them from the front, not from the back.
- Explosives and fire are your friends to killing these.
- The X-Mas Launcher and M202 are recommended due to them being reloadable.
- The RPG is recommended, to a lesser extent, due to the fact it isn't reloaded conventionally.
- The Flamethrower is a great alternative for dispatching hordes of penguins.
- The Molotov and Jerry Can are also great at dealing with swarms.
- They can be easily pushed and stunned by the Fire Extinguisher and Splashy Washy.
- The X-Mas Launcher and M202 are recommended due to them being reloadable.
- Use Jetski if they're chasing you in the water, as you're slower on your own.
Trivia
- The Toy Penguins can swim in water, the only AIs that can also do so are AI Infecteds and Gingerbread Minions.
- These used to give 20$ in Debug, but this was changed to 10$ for obvious farming reasons.
- In Yeti's Quest, Yeti II and Frosty Jr., there is no limit to Toy Penguins. In Snowy Snowy Hills, there is a limit of 30 Toy Penguins.
