| ~ Chill Penguin to X. |
Chill Penguin, also known as Icy Penguigo in Japan, is one of the eight Mavericks in the original Mega Man X and its 2005 remake, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X.
He is voiced by Ryuzo Ishino in Japanese and Dean Galloway in English.
Appearance[]
Chill Penguin is a reploid that resembles a humanoid penguin, hence the name.
Biography[]
Chill Penguin was once a Maverick Hunter from the 13th Polar Region unit. One day, however, Sigma paid him to work for him, which Chill Penguin found better than wandering around the South Pole all the time with nothing to do. It is also implied that he chose to work for Sigma because he was jealous of X. Chill Penguin then killed his commander and joined Sigma's rebellion. He was tasked with creating avalanches in order to crush cities with massive piles of snow. X managed to stop and destroy Chill Penguin before he was able to do so.
In battle, Chill Penguin shoots ice balls, slides on his belly and uses a switch on the ceiling to create a blizzard. His weakness is the Fire Wave when playing as X, and the Wild Horse kick when playing as Vile in the remake.
In Other Media[]
Yoshihiro Iwamoto's manga[]
Chill Penguin appears in the Rockman X1 manga created by Yoshihiro Iwamoto as a minor supporting antagonist. He appears in the second and third chapter of the manga as the main antagonist. Prior to the events of the manga, he incapacitated a Maverick Hunter named Marth, as well as his team. He later froze Marth and kept it as a trophy. When he later faces X, he starts plummeting him with his ice projectiles and sliding, before freezing him. However, when X is motivated by Marth from the past, X breaks free from the ice and incapacitates Chill Penguin. Penguin refuses to believe this since he is an A-rank Maverick while X is a B-rank Maverick. When X chooses to spare Chill Penguin instead of finishing him off to rebel against Sigma, Chill Penguin fakes redemption before freezing X's face and threatening to shatter the frozen body of Marth into pieces with his wind blow if X moved one step towards him. He also takes advantage of the earthquakes to give X less time and taunts about the fact that the earthquakes will bury Alaska in the form of a massive avalanche. However, Marth breaks free of the ice and sacrifices himself to give a reluctant X the advantage of shooting Marth and Chill Penguin to prevent Alaska from being buried in an avalanche.
