3879. Sven the penguin

Sven the penguin's Super Climber

Sven is a puffin, who is mistaken for a penguin. He is idolised by all of the Adélie penguins and Lovelace when he gets caught in an oil spill in the Arctic and flies south.

Not much is known about Sven's early life and childhood, but he was caught in an oil spill in the Arctic and is rehabilitated by humans. He then sees humans eating meat on board of their oil rig, and sees that they might become food too, so he flies south to the Adélie penguin colony.

Sven is a puffin, possibly from a North Eastern Atlantic colony. He has a rainbow-coloured beak, which is unusual for a puffin. He also has two tufts on the back of his head, which usually belong to that of a Macaroni or Rockhopper penguin, possibly to fit in with the penguins and put them under the illusion that he is a penguin too.

He is a quite selfish, flirty bird, especially around Gloria. Also, around the Adélie colony, he talks himself up a lot, and leads Erik to believe that Sven is a penguin and that he can fly too. He can be quite a coward, too, as when Mumble needs the penguins to find a route to the sea, he won't face up to the humans due to his earlier experiences.
