The Neapolitan Penguin Sandwich Update has sweetened the world of Adopt Me! with a delightful batch of new pets. Among them, the penguins have captured players’ hearts, especially their glowing Neon and Mega Neon versions. If you’re wondering how to add these icy-cool companions to your collection, you’ve come to the right place.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about getting every type of penguin and transforming them into their brilliant neon forms.
What are the Neapolitan Penguins in Adopt Me?
The update introduced four new penguin pets, each with a unique theme:
Chocolate Penguin: The most common of the group.
Vanilla Penguin: A rarer find.
Strawberry Penguin: The rarest of the main three.
Dango Penguin: An ultra-rare variant not part of the main Neapolitan set, obtained from a different source.
These pets are part of the “Pet Shop” mechanic and are not found in the standard Gumball Machine.
How to Get Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry Penguins
To obtain one of the Neapolitan Penguins, you need to follow a specific process at the new in-game location.
Visit the Giant Ice Cream Sandwich: Head to the giant Neapolitan Ice Cream Sandwich structure located in the Adopt Me world. This area houses the Pet Shop.
Purchase a Goldfish: Inside, you will find an NPC where you can buy a Goldfish. This is a key item, not a pet, and costs 195 Robux.
Feed the Goldfish to the Penguin: Once you have the Goldfish, interact with the large penguin statue at the top of the ice cream sandwich. Giving it the Goldfish will reward you with a Penguin Egg.
Hatch the Egg: Place the Penguin Egg in your inventory and wait for it to hatch. The egg will randomly hatch into one of the three Neapolitan Penguins.
Penguin Hatch Chances (Odds)
The probability of getting each penguin is not equal. Here are the official hatch rates:
Chocolate Penguin: 87% (Very Common)
Vanilla Penguin: 10% (Uncommon)
Strawberry Penguin: 2.5% (Rare)
How to Get the Dango Penguin
The Dango Penguin is a separate, ultra-rare pet. It is not obtained from the Pet Shop Goldfish method. Instead, you have a very small chance of hatching one from a Crystal Egg, which can be purchased in the Nursery.
Your Goal: How to Make a Neon Penguin
Creating a Neon pet is a rewarding process that requires time and effort. Here’s the step-by-step guide for making a Neon Penguin.
Step 1: Gather Four of the Same Penguin
You need four fully grown penguins of the same type. For example, to make a Neon Chocolate Penguin, you need four full-grown Chocolate Penguins.
Step 2: Age Them Up to Full Grown
This is the most time-consuming part. You need to age each penguin through four life stages: Newborn, Junior, Pre-Teen, Teen, Post-Teen, and finally, Full Grown. You can do this by completing tasks for your pet.
Pro Tip: To speed up the process, create a “Neon Family” and have multiple players in a server taking care of the pets together.
Step 3: Visit the Neon Cave
Once you have four full-grown penguins of the same kind, take them to the Neon Cave located on Adoption Island. Inside, you will see a crafting circle. Place your four full-grown penguins into the slots provided.
Step 4: Combine and Create!
The game will combine your four pets into one magnificent Neon Penguin! The original four pets are consumed in the process.
What Do Neon Penguins Look Like?
Each Neon Penguin has a unique glowing effect, making them visually stunning:
Neon Chocolate Penguin: The chocolate icing on its head and the icing on its hands glow with a warm, bright light.
Neon Vanilla Penguin: The vanilla icing on its head and its hands emit a soft, white-yellow glow.
Neon Strawberry Penguin: This is the most visually striking. The strawberry icing on its head and its straw glow with a vibrant pink and red light.
Neon Dango Penguin: Its dango stick and details glow with a unique, colorful light.
Adopt Me Penguin Tricks: How to Show Off Your Pet
After you have your penguin (regular or neon), you can teach it tricks by visiting Shane, the trick-learning NPC located near the playground. The tricks your penguin can learn, in order, are:
Dance
Roly-Poly
Sit
Bag
Jump
Joyful
The Chocolate and Vanilla Penguins share similar trick animations, while the Strawberry Penguin has a unique “Joyful” animation where it pops its head up.
FAQ: Adopt Me Neon Penguins
Q: What is the rarest Neapolitan Penguin?
A: The Strawberry Penguin is the rarest, with only a 2.5% hatch chance from the Penguin Egg.
Q: Can I trade for the penguins instead of hatching them?
A: Yes, trading with other players is a very common way to get the specific penguin you want, especially the rarer Vanilla and Strawberry ones.
Q: How do I make a Mega Neon Penguin?
A: To make a Mega Neon, you need four Neon Penguins of the same type (e.g., four Neon Chocolate Penguins). Combine them at the Neon Cave just like you did to make the neon version.
Q: Is the Goldfish a permanent pet?
A: No, the Goldfish purchased for 195 Robux is a one-time-use item that you trade for a Penguin Egg. It is not a pet you can keep in your inventory.
Q: Which penguin should I try to get first for a neon?
A: Due to the high hatch rate, focusing on getting four Chocolate Penguins first is the most efficient way to get your first Neon Penguin.
Conclusion
Getting a Neon Penguin in Adopt Me is a fun and achievable goal. Start by visiting the Pet Shop to get your Penguin Eggs, be patient with the hatch rates, and diligently age up your pets. The effort is well worth it when you finally combine them in the Neon Cave and see your new glowing companion light up the room. Whether you’re aiming for a common Chocolate or the ultra-rare Strawberry, the journey to building your neon collection is a core part of the Adopt Me! experience. Happy hatching
