Pinguino's rookery is a group of penguins led by Pinguino. They reside at the Tree of Life.

While traversing the Tree of Life's territory, Beshte inadvertently caused several accidents, including the destruction of the penguins' ice slide. Believing him to be a menace, Pinguino and several other locals reported him to Baliyo, nicknaming him "Poa the Destroyer." Though Baliyo, Rani, and the Lion Guard attempted to reconcile Beshte with his accidental victims, Pinguino refused to comply and fled from Beshte. In doing so, he fell off an icy ledge, and Beshte caught him on his back, thus saving his life. Afterwards, Pinguino cleared Beshte's name to the other animal residents.

History[]

Poa the Destroyer[]

"Poa!" is the sound that makes penguins weep.

Pinguino's rookery falls in the snow after Beshte ruins their slide.

When Beshte visited Pinguino's rookery, he accidentally trailed snow on their ice slide, ruining it. Oblivious to what had happened, the penguins attempted to slide down the ice, only to slip and fall into the snow. Upon seeing Beshte walk away, apparently unbothered, Pinguino believed him to have deliberately ruined their slide.

Shortly afterwards, several animals who were victims of Beshte's mistakes, including Pinguino, ran into one another and resolved to report the incidents to the Night Pride. Pinguino nicknamed Beshte "Poa the Destroyer" after his frequent catchphrase. The animals soon found Baliyo and shared what Beshte had done, describing him as a monster as tall as the Tree of Life who was on a path of destruction.

Pinguino's rookery praises Beshte for having saved their leader's life.

Later, Beshte revisited the penguins, but they acted evasively, as they did not want to offend him. Soon, the Lion Guard learned of Beshte's bad reputation and planned to reconcile him with his animal victims. Baliyo attempted to lead Pinguino's rookery to the Tree of Life, but Bunga let it slip that Beshte would be there. Unwilling to reconcile with Beshte, Pinguino turned around and made for home.

Along the way, Pinguino ran into Beshte and fled up an icy ridge. Despite Beshte's warnings, Pinguino climbed higher and ended up falling off the top of the ridge. Just in time, Beshte caught Pinguino on his back, thus saving his life. Together, Beshte and Pinguino traveled to the Tree of Life, where Pinguino cleared Beshte's name to the other animals. The penguins then joined in on a cheer for Beshte.[1]

Rani's coronation[]

Long live the queen!

As Queen Janna lay dying, Pinguino's rookery waited outside the Tree of Life for news. Before long, Makini announced Janna's death to the crowd, and Pinguino's rookery reacted with shock. They later attended Janna's funeral at the Willows. At sunset, they attended Rani's coronation at the Tree of Life, where they cheered for their new queen.[2]

Kion's coronation[]

You know, King Kion, he's as fierce as a penguin.
