Tux the Penguin

Tux the Penguin is the titular protagonist of the 2004 open-source game SuperTux, as well as its loose racing counterpart SuperTuxKart. He is the mascot of the Linux distro. 
== Biography ==
=== SuperTux ===
In SuperTux, he is first seen at the beginning of the game, where he is trying to impress his girlfriend, Penny, with dance moves and a boombox. However, their "party" is soon interrupted by a half-turtle, half-dragon named Nolok, who comes out of a bush that he was hiding in, knocks out Tux, and kidnaps Penny. Tux then wakes up, and realizes that Penny has been kidnapped. Worrying on what might happen to her, he quickly goes on his adventure to save his longtime girlfriend and companion from Nolok.
Throughout the game, he is met with various challenges that try and stop him from rescuing Penny, such as a Yeti boss. Eventually, he manages to defeat Nolok and save Penny, which is where the game ends.
=== SuperTuxKart ===
In SuperTuxKart, he serves as the main protagonist of the game's Story Mode, where his leader, Gnu, gets kidnapped by Nolok, who plans on eating him for supper at his lair. He tells Tux (along with the other mascots), that if they beat him at racing, he will free their leader, but then goes on to say that they will never beat him at racing, and flies away in his ship. 
Once the player has collected enough points and trophies, they will unlock the final level of the game behind the gate, in which it is Fort Magma, Nolok's lair. During the race, Nolok tries to cheat by using various items at the start, but to no avail. Once the player has beaten Nolok, (and regardless of what character you picked during the race), the game will always show a cutscene where Tux frees Gnu from a cell, and the game ends.
== Personality ==
Not much is known about Tux other than the fact that he is a very determinate penguin who is desperate to save those he cares about, such as Penny and Gnu, going on very long adventures just to save them. It is also shown that he likes to dance, as shown in the beginning of SuperTux, where he is impressing Penny with his dance moves before being interrupted by Nolok. He also likes to race with his friends, as shown in SuperTuxKart.
