Gates Penguin Spheniscus Mendiculus Occidentalis 65cm in height, 4.2 kg in weight and walks erect, predominantly black with white belly and occasional yellow markings surrounding the eyes. The Gates Penguin is believed to be an awakened variant of the Galapagos Penguin (Spheniscus Mendiculus Mendiculus), alightly larger in size but similar in coloration. The Gates penguin is carniverous and hunts in packs. These Penguins are typically found in groups of 6 to 18 and are believed to be highly intelligent. The Gates Penguin has evolved with a very hard pointed bill which allows the penguin to attack by gaining speed through it's Movement power (sere below) at which point it slides accross ice or snow on it's belly impaling it's target. It instinctually aims for legs in order to disable the prey so the flock and the younger penguins may practice attacks against a hobbled opponent. In warmer climates Where a surface is not suitable for sliding the penguin will at high speeds tuck into a somersault rolling on the ground then stiffen allowing it to sail through the air for as far as six meters to attack prey. Despite their small size these Penguins are incredibly determined and often are able to kill larger prey such as Walruses without difficulty. They often enploy tactics of having several penguins cavort and play as a distraction while others will circle around a quickly line up dehabilitating attacks. They also mix in with normal Galapagos Penguins in order to use them as a diversion. The Gates Penguin was named in honor of Winton Gates, the first scientist to classify the new awakened breed, and was also the first human recorded to fall victim to the species. The known powers for the Gates penguin are Movement (self), Enhanced Senses (Smell, Hearing), Enhanced Reactions, Enhanced Quickness (Three Times per day) Bod: 2 Str: 2 Qui: 4 x2 (x5 swimming) Int: 4* Wil: 5 Essence: 6 Attacks: Peck (3L), Slide (6M-12M depending on speed) |
