The Pogoin' penguin is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Pogoin' penguins are bird monsters with purple plumage that constantly hop back and forth in battle. They have a shock of yellow feathers on their head like a mohawk and a design that looks like a fierce face on their bellies. The birds are able to send opponents into confusion with their Fuddle spell, but actually lacked the magic power to do so in their first appearance. Their other noteworthy ability is being able to call for backup from more of their kind.
