Ninja

Ninjas are once a secret aspect of Club Penguin, making a return from Club Penguin's predecessor. On November 14, 2008, Ninjas were confirmed real by The Penguin Times, and a few days later it became possible to become one by beating the Sensei at Card-Jitsu. These penguins are normally seen wearing black suits, black belts, and a black facemask. Another edition of the same newspaper stated that Ninjas are peace-loving penguins and big fans of the arts.

History

Penguin Chat 3

Ninjas made their first appearance in Penguin Chat 3. When creating a penguin, if the player clicks on the letter "N" in the "Select Your New Penguin", a secret ninja outfit would pop out (and so the players can play as ninjas). According to rsnail, there were about 1000 active ninjas in Penguin Chat 3.^[1]

Club Penguin

2005-October 2008

Ninjas were not found in Club Penguin, though the Dojo was present. Many players believed that if they stand in Dojo for 30 minutes, then ninjas will appear and they might become ninjas (though it was proven false by the Sensei). Also, when pressing the letter "N" in Club Penguin's logo, a penguin wearing the ninja mask will appear.

On August 31, 2005, Rsnail confirmed that there will be ninjas and they will have a secret room.^[2]

November 2008

During the Halloween Party 2008, Club Penguin was hit by a strong storm which resulted in the destruction of the roof of the Dojo. On November 3, 2008, the Dig Out the Dojo started. When entering the Dojo, penguins can find stairs to the roof. When clicking on all the lighbulbs in the Dojo, a poster saying "Ninja" will pop out. On top there was several snow covered mounds, with a sign that said "DIG OUT THE DOJO", and mountains in the distance. A strange penguin (Sensei) was digging underneath the torii. Penguins were encourage to shovel or drill on the snow.

On November 14, 2008, Ninjas were confirmed real by The Penguin Times and several days later (November 17, 2008), it became possible to become one by beating the Sensei at Card-Jitsu.
