Penguins are a species of birdvillager in the Animal Crossing series. They are mainly differentiated from the generic bird villagers by their wider bodies, short stumpy tails, and their feet resembling those of the ducks. In addition to this, Boomer and Puck both wear headgear, while Hopper has prominent eyebrows.
In New Horizons, eleven of the 13 penguin villagers (the exceptions being Cube and Friga) share a common theme to their interiors, assuming they are not among the first five villagers on an island. These 11 penguins all have either Ice or Iceberg walls and flooring as well as Frozen Series furniture.
