Because they're not penguins or because they're the biggest jerks in the penguin kingdom? And sighs of relief all round: the Big Man is pleased to hear it!

Because they are the asshats of the gaming penguin world.

Athrun, hoo do you think you're fooling?

NOOT NOOT

I forgot one:

 

Squids and octopodes! Yes that is technically the/a correct plural, since 'pus' comes from the Greek 'pos' and not... oh they've all stopped listening. Hit me with your finest molluscs! Doc Ock and other human octos need not apply.

Grand music, shame about the game:

 

Super High School-Level Punning:

 

Inb4 everyone:

 

I nearly came here and co-opted this thread to launch this myself. Top work Balls Man.

Getting the Monster Hunter monster in early:

 

Love this guy. In the first quest, I thought a skeletal two-headed dragon was fantasy bullshit, and not very Monster Hunter at all. When he was revealed to be a kraken wearing bones, I thought that was ruddy brilliant.

Gooper Blooper:

Obligatory Bloodborne mention.:

 

That's Ebrietas, daughter of the Cosmos

Also shout out to when you equip the milkweed rune & Kos Parasite weapon in the same game.

This one springs to mind immediately:

Alex Kidd in Miracle World:

 

Muss, what's with your second picture? It could be a joke I'm missing, but I'm pretty sure that's a picture of just a well-dressed family man - just an average father.

Oh you silly!

This guy is a badass::

 

Whereas this guy is just an ass::

 

Cephalopod is not a word I've heard before but here's Khalamari from Dragon Quest 8:

Yay Octoman!

All sorts of pictures aren't showing up for me now, not sure why. I did get to see Jas' Lovecraftian horror though.

Retropus:

 

No boo this man or castle from you Balla about mine, I'm disappointed.

Not moving onto the next animal quite yet, however I thought I'd go back one and feature a new favourite seal:

BotW:

 

Might I suggest horses?

No.

Oh wait, you have.  Er, okay then, horses it is. Seahorses not allowed.

Recent horses:

 

Classic horse:
