Penguins are the main species of Club Penguin Island and of the multiplayer game Club Penguin. Penguins are divided into two main groups: members and non-members, as well as many subdivisions. Members are penguins who give money towards Disney and Club Penguin in order to gain a membership status which in turn grants the player extra features such as enhanced game-play, the ability to buy certain clothing and furniture, and play special levels of games. On the other hand, non-members have limited access to game levels, clothing and furniture, and additional rooms.
All penguins in Club Penguin have ID numbers, such as P103223183 or P169314173. The ID number signifies how old a penguin is in Club Penguin. For example, if a penguin's ID was P145965716 then they would be the 145965716th penguin created on Club Penguin. You might notice if a penguin is made on an English server, their ID number may be their name, but if they went to a French server or to any other server of a foreign language, it would show their ID instead of their name; this is because verification of penguin names generally occur on the language the penguin is active in. If you log on to the different language many times, your penguin will get his or her normal name back soon instead of the ID number.
Caveguins
The earliest known penguins are caveguins, also known as cave penguins. They lived in the prehistoric era of the Club Penguin Island with dinosaurs. There, they worked, lived, and played. The caveguins had a more limited vocabulary than the present-day penguins. Due to the Prehistoric Party 2013, many caveguins were confused about penguins coming from the 'strange shiny thing', known as the Time Trekker. They then discovered that they were from the present. The only named caveguins are Garugg the Ugg Ugg and Dugglus. They also used slang.
