Mascots

Famous Penguins (also known as Mascots) are non-playable characters that fit into the Club Penguin storyline. Most of them hand out a special free item. For example, Rockhopper gives out an autographed background, along with The Penguin Band, Cadence, Aunt Arctic, Sensei, Gary the Gadget Guy, Rookie and PH. Normal penguins can also become famous by making videos or having websites.
