Penguin


 * Not to be confused with the pet, Baby Penguin.

A Penguin is a passive critter introduced in 1.2. It only spawns in the Ice Biome and may spawn with different colors. The Penguin behaves as the other normal ground critters: it wanders around randomly as any other critter would. Penguins can be caught using the Bug Net, at which point they can be carried around in the inventory and released again later. You can also craft them into a Penguin Cage and used as an animated furniture. Once crafted, the penguin cannot be released again.

The Penguin Cage occupies a 6x3 space. The Penguin inside may follow the following patterns randomly:
 * Move from one side to the other of the cage
 * Briefly move its head up and down
 * Blink in its place
 * Look around to the left and right
