Emperor Penguins

Emperor Penguins are one of the main species featured in the franchise. Most Happy Feet characters are Emperors. They reside in Emperor-Land.

Education

It is shown that young penguins attend school, and set out on their own for a brief time when they graduate.

Courtship

Emperors find life-long mates with their Heartsongs. Because different species of penguin use different courting methods, it is not known if Emperors are the only penguins to possess such songs.

Religion

The Emperors are shown to worship a deity known as The Great 'Guin. The Great 'Guin is said to have the power to make fish appear and disappear, as well as being the one to put songs in the hearts of penguins. In Happy Feet, Noah the Elder believes that the Great 'Guin is punishing the whole species as a result of Mumble being unnaturally different.

Elders

Elders are the oldest and wisest Emperor penguins. Led by Noah, they are presumed to be the leaders of Emperor Land.
