NPC The Chucklefish Penguin

I dont know his real name, dont judge me =3.

The Chucklefish Penguin is an NPC that spawns onto the players ship after the first boss is defeated.
He will sell gag/promotional/holiday items that the devs add to the game for reasonable prices.
And of course he is IMMORTAL. But he doesnt need to be, who would kill such a cute penguin?

Thanks for reading =3.

 

So after he attacked you in a giant UFO he explains your beacon was sending swearwords, so he thought you were aggresive.
He apologises and you have an option to invite him on your ship (because he's cute)?

 

better yet, what about-

A PUFFIN?

 

Yyyyyeeeeah, that's Dreadwing man. As in, he IS the first boss.

And by the codex entry, is a bonafide jerk (putting it bluntly)

Also, I'll be damned if I'm letting a penguin mooch around in my ship, getting in my way all the time.

 

THE PENGUIN KING DEMANDS IT.

 

I don't like to be forced to have any NPC at my ship, especially if I cannot get rid/'kill it afterwards. I also am willing to bet that official mascot or not, there would be quite a few players sharing my sentiment, making the addition of such NPC somewhat of a waste of time.

You may find the NPC cute but forcing it onto those who won't - I find somewhat unfair and thus, I'd rather have it as an optional mod I can ignore.

 

never seen him... nightly ? OH suggestion, guys you gotta point that out. derp.

would be kinda neat to be honest, i'd like a penguin on my ship... woop needs a mod!

 

*Needs more penguins on ship.*

There are not enough penguins.

 

Hmm, well maybe Dreadwing turns into a cute and friendly penguin after the explosion of his ship knocks something wrong in his penguin brain.
Thanks for your response =3.

 

Immortal you say ....... lets see about that *opens ship file and changes a single hex value*

I would say that a better implementation would be that the penguin boss drops a capture pod when killed. you can toss the pod anywhere you want to spawn the penguin give it 1hp so you can just smack it with a sword to turn it back into a pod. it gives the pet system a purpose and allows it to be put away when not needed not to mention if the penguin gets lost you can simply shoot down another ufo to get a new pod .
