Penpen

Penpen (ペンペン) are small penguin robots in Mega Man 3. They mainly appear in Gemini Man's stage (before Doc Robot), and come out of the Penpen Maker. Later they are found in the water area of the first section of Dr. Wily's castle, where they move up and down until you're close - then they swim toward you.

In Mega Man: Battle & Chase, there are unnamed penguins that act like Penpen.





Penpen Maker
Penpen Maker (ペンペンメーカー) is the mini-boss of the Gemini Man stage (before Doc Robot), and there are two in the stage. Both are dealt with by hitting their eyes.



Penpen EV
Penpen EV (ペンペンＥＶ) is an upgrade of the Penpen. It spins around, and can be pushed aside with a few shots. But if left alone it will face Mega Man, get on its belly and do a short jet boost to slide towards him. In Mega Man 8, penpens mainly dwell in Frost Man's stage. Many appear from the ice blocks that emerge from hovering Whalaships. In Mega Man and Bass, Cold Man's stage is where penpens appear.

Trivia
In the Taito game, Graffiti Kingdom, one of the enemies is a "Frappenguin," which sort of resembles the Penpen Maker.
