Homebrew Baby Penguin Species Details
The comforts of home, fish, community, and fresh water are the siren songs of all penguins, and there is nary a penguin who would deny himself these pleasures when given the chance. Moreover, most penguins yearn for a simple life, not made complex by conflict. The smallest things can make many penguins happy, and as such, most lack large ambitions or goals outside of living. This combined with short lifespans means penguins have not been responsible for much in the course of history, though those that have sought out fame and glory quickly become spectacles in their own right. Even though penguins may seem docile and not prone to conflict, when they are forced to fight, they fight ravenously and without mercy for their enemies.
