File:Pengy Anime.jpg
Pengy and his tribe in 'The Chill Factor'.

In episode 66 of Kirby: Right Back at Ya! titled 'The Chill Factor', Dream Land is visited by a massive iceberg controlled by the Pengy tribe led by Pengy, who is capable of speech. Of these tribe members, only Pengy resembles the Pengis from Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, with his pronounced eyebrows and the ability to breathe ice. The other Pengy penguins lack eyebrows and many carry spears instead.

As the Pengy tribe moves in, Dream Land experiences a massive shift in climate, becoming notably colder as a result of their influence. To try and drive them out, Kirby attempts to defeat their leader by obtaining the Ice ability, but this is ineffective. King Dedede calls upon the N.M.E. Sales Guy to send anything that can help, and is sent a super hot sauce. Instead of drinking the sauce, Kirby takes it to the nearby volcano and pours the sauce into the caldera, causing the volcano to erupt and counterbalance the climate, forcing the Pengy tribe to leave and find a colder place to live.
