Killer penguin (SciiFii)

The killer penguin (Eudyptes omnicidus) is a species of penguin that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the tropical and temperate coastlines of Madagascar to help boost biodiversity. It is inspired by the fictional depiction of the killer penguin in Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals, but with more accurate characteristsic and the right kind of habitat it prefers (due to Madgascar lacking any tundra environments). The killer penguin resembles its cousin, the rockhopper penguin, but it has sharp teeth-like serrations on its beak, darker yellow eyes, and a more reddish-colored head crest. It is a large penguin, growing to be about the height of a tall human and weigh around 150-200 pounds on average. The killer penguin, as its name suggests, is an apex predator that preys on any animal smaller than itself that it can catch, including fish, frogs, lizards, birds, and small mammals. Despite its reputation as an apex predator, it is a rather slow animal on land, so it prefers to hunt in the water, although it is known to hunt and kill any slow-moving animals smaller than itself. It is a solitary animal that lives in most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the killer penguin is Vulnerable due to slight habiat loss and, historically, poaching and persecution, however, thanks to conservationists, the killer penguin is a protected species.
