# Tux

Tux is a penguin mascot that represents the Linux kernel.

## Base stats

Tux is intended to appear slightly overweight, and therefore Tux is considered
a heavyweight.

## Move design

### Light attacks

### Heavy attacks

Inspired by [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDSpP405O00) of Tux
beating the MSN butterfly in a boxing match, Tux' sideways heavy move should
involve him punching with boxing gloves. The look should be similar to
[King K. Rool's side smash attacks](https://ultimateframedata.com/king_k_rool).

### Special attacks

It seems most fitting that Tux' up special is a jump upwards, after which he
descends quickly and creates a shockwave as he lands. When smashing into the
ground, he should land in his iconic sitting position.

## Alternative skins

### TuxDroid

One skin could be a slightly robotic version of Tux called
[TuxDroid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tux_Droid). The slightly robotized
form could be interpreted as glowing CRT-like eyes and a different material
applied to Tux's fur.

### King T.T.T.

Given how King Dedede is sometimes mistaken for the Linux pinguin, it could be
a funny nod to Nintendo's character to dress Tux up in an outfit similar to
King Dedede. (minus the hammer)
