This pet may be purchased for roughly 10 gold (factoring in the reputation discount) upon achieving exalted with the Kalu'ak faction. Sairuk is found in Moa'ki Harbor, Dragonblight. Tanaika is located in Kamagua, Howling Fjord. A variety of Kalu'ak quests are available to earn reputation, including a few repeatable daily quests.

Pengu walks on land and swims on his belly in water. He responds to the /sexy emote by sometimes doing a penguin slide. There are different animations for the slide on land and in water.

I thought my pengu had stopped responding to /sexy as well. I made a macro and spammed it in a corner where it wouldn't fill up chat with people near me and after like 50 it finally worked so keep at it. Maybe they just decreased the chance for him to slide or mayber we just had bad luck

I wonder if maybe Pengu doing the slide animation when you /sexy at him is a Fight Club reference. Anybody else think so?

Breanni you might want to update your thought on this pet since he lost his red eyes. He is no longer a demon Pengu.

I strongly recommend you all think Pengu is sexy and here's why:

/sexy at Pengu

He'll slide on his belly and a frost cloud appears! It's a pretty cool little animation! :D

I am so disappointed with Pengu's new look. Why would they change him? Now he looks too much like Mr. Chilly. I enjoyed the fact that they were different, and I'm also annoyed that he no longer properly resembles a rockhopper penguin. What the heck, Blizz?

Pengu just looks WRONG now... all wrong... he doesn't even want to come out to play any more... you can see it in his EYES. It's like he's been taken over by some blue-eyed demon :'(

Did Blizz ever even give a reason for the change?

(added Jan 5, 2010) Please put the old pic of Pengu back in Breanni... give him his red-eyed justice in at least one place in this tired old world of pc boringness (is there still no reason from Blizz for this travesty?). Revive the Pengu Revolution!

Well it doesn't make sense to change his eye color, as having red eyes made perfect sense- Pengu is very obviously a rockhopper penguin. Real rockhopper penguins have red/orange eyes.

I agree -- Pengu's eyes should remain red so that he continues to be unique (and evil). Instead of posting your distaste for this change here, I urge you to add your support to the suggestion thread on the official WoW forums. If enough people post, they may yet change our beloved little Pengu back to his demonic self.

UPDATE: Kinda sad to see a blue-eyed Pengu after the launch of 3.3. :-(

If we're getting Mr. Chilly with his baby blue eyes, do we really need to change my oh-so-loved Pengu? Sure he's a little demonic, but so is every Warlock in the game. Does that mean we need to change them to make them fit in? No. Shame on Blizzard for saying that possessed penguins can't be loved.

I'm in agreement to PLEASE KEEP PENGU UNCHANGED! I have been working to get him for a while now and think he looks great with his red eyes. I was shocked to hear rumour that he will change to look almost identical to Mr Chilly. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.

I am so very glad they changed Pengu's eyes back, as rockhopper penguins have orange/red eyes! Now he is anatomically correct in addition to being different from Mr. Chilly! A proper rockhopper :). A pic: http://home.sjfc.edu/cals/units/mcgowan/rockhopper.jpg

I agree with Nanalady, I like pengu's current eyes. I don;t understand why they need to change them, since we are gonna get cute non-demonic penguin soon, but such is life I guess.

I actually like Pengu's red eyes and I'm kind of upset they are being changed. On MMO where they show the comparison pics they just look way too similar. 8/29/12 Omg! Just realized with 5.4 that they fixed his eye yay!

Apparently, according to the rumours from PTR 3.3. Pengu has successfully undergone an exorcism. Either that, or he got some eye drops. Apparently his eyes are no longer red. So make sure you take all the demonic penguin screenshots now, before the patch goes live.

I think Breanni is right about this pet.
Helping some friends through Blood Furnace and showing the place to Pengu, Magtheridon cried out: "The master has come."
Briefly i saw Pengu's eyes sparkle.

The dailies are very simple, i was exalted with the kalu'ak before i even got to lv 78, i simply did all the quests they had to offer and did the dailies for a couple of weeks.

Some people think Pengu provides a reference to "Pingu," the Swiss claymation series starring a penguin of the same name. Others think it's a nod to the 1980's Sega arcade game in which the player controlled a red penguin named "Pengo". But you're all wrong! Look at his innocent appearance. Gaze into his eyes. Pengu is clearly a reference to Damien, the spawn of Satan from "The Omen". Don't believe me? Pull back the feathers on his forehead and I bet you'll find a birthmark in the shape of a 666.
