The crested penguins of New Zealand. In Maori they are called “Tawaki”. Belonging to the genus Eudyptes, they are the Fiordland penguin (E. Pachyrhynchus), the Snares (E. Robustus) and the Erect-crested (E. sclateri).

Due to how closely related they are, it is debated whether they are a single species with three subspecies, or three distinct species. It’s difficult to tell them apart since they are so similar.

above: the fiordland penguin

Unlike the other two species, the fiordland penguin has small white stripes underneath its eyes, and has no bare skin around its beak. Like the snares penguin, its crest (the yellow eyebrows) does not stand up. This penguin is known for swimming very far for food. These chaps nest in forests.

above: snares penguin

the snares penguin looks almost exactly like the fiordland penguin, but it lacks the white stripes below its eyes, and has a bare area of skin around the beak. The fellows breed on the Snares Islands.

this is the erect-crested penguin. Like the snares penguin, it has a bare area of skin around its beak. Unlike the other two species, it has a crest that stands up, hence the name. These guys only breed on the Bounty and Antipode islands.

disclaimer: this list is wikipedia-sourced. taxonomists disagree about the exact number of penguin species.

go to this website for a quick species rundown!

While not in any immediate danger, the Snares penguin's breeding range is a handful of small islands near New Zealand. Unlike most other crested penguins, pairs incubate both of the eggs they lay, though only the stronger chick will survive.

Legends and myths about trees

Penguins of the forests - Trees that protect the penguins in New Zealand

Snares penguins live in a surprising habitat, waddling the trees of the New Zealand forest. Penguins are often thought as living in ice and snow, in fact, 60,000 Snares living benease these trees. So, why are they here? New Zealand has no native land preditors. It is safe to nurturing their youngs. So these trees are penguins sanctuary. The woodland is a pengins paradise.

The Snares penguin is often compared to the Fiordland penguin, which is related by the genus of crested penguins. The Fiordland penguin is also endemic to New Zealand. The Maori word for the penguin is ‘Tawaki’, which is derived from a Maori god.

There are other forest-dwelling penguin species endemic to New Zealand.

The yellow-eyed penguins, known by the Maori people as ‘hoiho’, the world's rarest penguin species—and perhaps also the shyest—inhabits dense coastal forests and hilly shrubland of the South Island, as well as a far-flung collection of uninhabited islands, most reachable only by boat through epically rough seas.

The little penguin, also known as the fairy penguin, is the smallest species of penguin, measuring about 36-43 cm (14-17 inch) in length and weighing about 1 kg (2.2lb). Unlike other penguins, the little penguin does not walk upright, but rather in a slightly forward leaning posture. This makes them the most primitive type of penguin.

Apparently, these forest penguins lived in the forest long before human settlement.

木にまつわる伝説・神話

森に住むペンギンたち〜ニュージーランドのペンギンを守る木々

ハシブトペンギン (ｽﾈｱｽﾞﾍﾟﾝｷﾞﾝ)たちは、ニュージーランドの森の木々をよちよち歩きながら、意外なところに生息している。ペンギンは氷や雪の中で暮らしていると思われがちだが、実は6万羽のハシブトペンギンがそれらの木々の恩恵を受けて暮らしている。では、��ぜ彼らはここにいるのか？ニュージーランドには在来種の陸上捕食者がいない。子供たちを育てるには安全な場所である。だから、その木々はペンギンの聖地なのだ。森はペンギンのパラダイスだ。

ハシブトペンギン (ｽﾈｱｽﾞﾍﾟﾝｷﾞﾝ) は、クレステッドペンギン属のキユマペンギン (ﾌｨﾖﾙﾄﾞﾗﾝﾄﾞﾍﾟﾝｷﾞﾝ) とよく比較される。

他にも、ニュージーランド固有種の森に住むペンギンの仲間はいる。

マオリ族に「ホイホ」と呼ばれるキンメペンギンは、世界で最も希少なペンギン種で、おそらく最も人見知りなペンギンでもある。南島の密林の海岸や丘陵の低木地帯、そして遠く離れた無人島に生息し、荒波にもまれながら、船で行くしか近づく手段がない。

コビトペンギンは、ペンギンの中では最も小さい種類であり、体長は約36-43cm、体重は約1kgである。

どうやら、彼ら森のペンギンたちは、人類が入植するずっと以前から森に住んでいたようだ。

For the fanfic director’s cut: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was going to respond seriously to this, but when I went to find the appropriate googledoc, the googledoc I had open already was "Penguins (A Divine Quest, Probably)", the planning doc for the D&D 5e campaign I ideated by never ran (yet). The premise is: all players are penguins in a post-apocalyptic world in which nuclear radiation a) returned magic to the world and b) made penguins sentient and gave them mild tactile telekinesis, ie, the ability to manipulate (moderately lightweight) objects with their mind while physically touching them (to avoid issues like 'no thumbs' and 'average penguin is about 3ft tall and minimal strength'.)

So I'll share my list of species correlations instead, including reasoning:

Great Penguins

Emperor - BIG BOYS (36-37kg), no nests - Goliath

King - lorge (15ish kg), chicks grow slowly, yellow feather “crown”, deep divers, common - Minotaur

Brush-Tailed Penguins

Adelie- medium (5ish kg), particularly cold-resistant, line nests with stones, common - Elf

Chinstrap - 5ish kg, pretty (says this site), nest on slopes, common - Half-elf

Gentoo - standardish penguins? 5+a bit kg, Antarctic continent + islands, like crab, common - Human

Little Penguins

Little - SMOLEST CHILDES (1ish kg), nocturnal, common - Svartniblin

Fairy - ditto smol and habitat?? - Gnome

Banded Penguins

Galapagos - smol! (2ish kg), equatorial (very good in heat) - Halfling

African - 3ish kg, burrow much, used to warmer (African) weather - Dwarrow-Dwarf

Humboldt - 5-a bit kg, burrow some, occupy cold Peruvian current but hot (desert/Mediterranean) breeding site. Fucked by El Nino some years - Mountain Dwarf

Magellanic - 5-a bit kg, burrow breeders, ~ African but South American - Hill Dwarf

Large Divers

Yellow-eyed - 5.5ish kg, maybe rarest penguin, nest in plants - Aasimar

[EXTINCT] Waitaha

Crested Penguins

Rockhopper (Southern, Eastern, Northern) - 2.5ish kg, red eyes, tiny but fierce - Goblin

Snares - 3ish kg, endemic to Snares Islands, kill forest with guano quantity, yellow eyebrows - Hobgoblin

Fiordland - 4ish kg, endemic to New Zealand rainforests - Half-orc

Macaroni - 5+a bit kg, don’t Land much when not breeding, weird orange hair - Kobold

Erect-crested - 5ish kg, tall crests (~horns!) - Tiefling

Royal - 5+a bit kg, related to Macaroni probably (yellow hair), nest in open. Standardish - Dragonborn

[EXTINCT] Chatham

Humans = giants, 1 enclave per type

Other birds (terns, mostly? not albatross? Must really live there) arakockra

Genasi may be done as a half-heritage thing, ie, half genasi, half established race

Round 1 Match 5

The Humboldt penguin is one of the four banded penguins. Humboldts can be differentiated from other banded penguins by their single stripe on the chest and neck, as well as the bare skin around the eye. They are about 24-26 inches (61-66cm) tall. Humboldt penguins live along the coasts of Chile and Peru, and get their name from explorer Alexander von Humboldt, who has more species named after him than any other human being.

The Snares penguin is another penguin that lives in New Zealand. It is a type of crested penguin. One way to tell them apart from other crested penguins is the skin patch at the base of their beaks, which can look like lipstick. Another way is that the yellow feathers of their crests go all the way to the back of their heads. Snares penguins grow to be about 20-22 inches (50-56cm) tall. They dig nests in the ground and line them with grass and twigs. Because of the sheer amount of penguins in breeding colonies, their nest-digging and pooping can take a toll on the forest and the colony has to move to a new part of the forest each year.

y'know what after the "vesper, you're a penguin" thang i keep wondering this so.

because of the 10 option limit I had to exclude the Fiordland, Snares, Erect-crested, and the Yellow-Eyed penguins. banded penguins are not included here for good reason, but if you WANT to argue for one of them i guess you can?

March 23, 2020 - Snares Penguin, Snares Crested Penguin, or Snares Islands Penguin (Eudyptes robustus)

These penguins are found in the Snares Islands of New Zealand. They feed on krill, squid, and small fish, often diving to depths of 85 feet (25 meters) while fishing near the coast in groups of as many as 20 birds. Breeding in colonies, pairs usually build cup-shaped nests from twigs, rocks, and mud. Both parents take turns incubating the eggs and both feed the chicks, which gather in large nurseries of hundreds.

SUPER messy sketches bc I’m bad with digital but I’ve been having thoughts lately about cold adapted / “penguin” Chozo. I implore someone with better design sense to make this design make sense. (If I spent more time with it/did it analogue it’d probably turn out better but eh, I’m trying to get more confident working with digital.)

Around the same height as your average Thoha, but much chunkier due to their thicker feathers and fatty insulation. Their legs are kind of stumpy, proportionally, for no other reason than I think it’s cute. They are decently adapted to swimming, still having feather spans on their forearms to serve as paddles, but mainly do so only for hunting nowadays. They probably retain a preference for polearms, since those are just good aquatic weapons, but they’ve likely been made for hunting (eg. with barbs for snaring a target) rather than combat. I’ve loosely modeled the helmet after a Rockhopper Penguin’s crest bc the tufted eyebrows are also cute.
