Chill Penguin/Maverick Hunter X

"Sigma has paid for the use of my power. Working for him is a million times better than piddling around on the South Pole with nothing to do."

- Chill Penguin

Chill Penguin, known as Icy Penguigo (アイシー・ペンギーゴ) in Japan, is one of the eight Mavericks in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X. Originally a Maverick Hunter in the 13th Polar Battalion, Chill Penguin was an acquaintance of X and Zero, but having grown bored and dissatisfied with his position at the South Pole, Chill Penguin joined Sigma's rebellion as it was more entertaining than his mission.

Overview

 * From the instruction manual:

LORD OF THE SNOWY PLAINS

''Reploid specifically designed for extremely cold regions, formerly of the 13th Polar Battalion. Had been operating on a wholly unsatisfying mission at the South Pole, but once he heard Sigma's call to rally Reploids, Chill Penguin started operating with the 17th Battalion. His thought circuits are designed to be flexible so he can perform missions with his small-size body, but this has gained him a reputation among other Reploids of being somewhat warped. He's on bad terms with Flame Mammoth, who relies solely on brute strength.''

Shotgun Ice

''Absorbs moisture in the air and fires it in crystallized form. If it hits an enemy or a hard surface, it breaks into 5 pieces and hits everything around it.''

The Day of Σ
In the OVA, The Day of Sigma, he moved to the 17th Elite Unit and was under Sigma's command. During this time, he also led a company within the Elite Unit called "Chill Penguin Company," identified by light blue armor-clad humanoid Reploids. He and his company were called in to deal with a Maverick Mechaniloid, and were about to commence an operation to retrieve it and secure the area after X seemingly subdued the mechaniloid with a Charge Shot, although it rose back up before he could begin to do so with hardly any damage from the earlier attack. Eventually, after Zero explained that the mech was too fast to get a clean shot on the power generator, Chill Penguin provided aid by freezing its legs while the rest of his company tried to restrain it with harpoons, although to his shock it started resisting both the frost and the harpoons. He also repeatedly demanded that X shoot the generator after the mech was disabled by an irate Zero shooting it in the leg. Afterwards, Chill Penguin berated X for hesitating, pointing out that, had Sigma not interfered, there would have been significant casualties. He later attended a briefing revealing that the mechaniloid was hacked, with Chill Penguin explaining that its security protocols would have made it impossible for it to be hacked. After X and Zero tracked down the perpetrators, or rather, what was left of them, Chill Penguin proceeded to try and track down the perpetrator alongside Storm Eagle and his unit. It is unclear whether Chill Penguin was aware at the time that Sigma was the perpetrator.

Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
When the revolt started, it sounded fun to him, so he joined up to leave his boring post at the South Pole. In the game, Chill Penguin's role is similar to his original counter part, but he occupied an Abandoned Missle Base, implying that he may be planning to launch a missle attack instead of causing a avalanche. Chill Penguin also says that Sigma is paying for his work and that he can't stand X.

Other appearances
Chill Penguin as he appears in Maverick Hunter X appears in TEPPEN as a unit card alongside his original look.

Dialogue
X - Normal Mode=X: Chill Penguin! Why have you sided with Sigma?

Chill Penguin: Sigma has paid for the use of my power. Working for him is a million times better than piddling around on the South Pole with nothing to do.

X: How could you!? What Sigma's doing is treasonous! X - Free Play/Hard Mode=X: Chill Penguin... Why...!?

Chill Penguin: Why? I wouldn't expect you to understand.

X: ...

Chill Penguin: Just look at you, X... You act so high and mighty... I can't stand it! Vile=Chill Penguin: Vile... I've never seen a Maverick who thought he was a Hunter before.

Vile: Hunter? Ha! I've never once entertained such thoughts.

Chill Penguin: Wah ha! Good answer, but you're still acting crazy. What exactly do you plan to do?

Vile: Same thing I always do... Crush anyone and anything who gets on my bad side!
