Homebrew Pinguin Species Details
Pinguins find their home along the world's most frigid coasts, where most would freeze to death in mere minutes. They live in massive groups which huddle together for warmth in the winter, and hunt together in the warmer months. Their homeland is cursed to slowly melt away, and each year the pinguins are pushed closer to extinction.
