One popular (although usually not entirely serious) theory among fans is that Pen Pen was in fact the mastermind behind [[SEELE]], [[NERV]] and [[GEHIRN]], orchestrating all the major events in the series from the Second Impact in 2001 up to the Third Impact in End of Evangelion. The proverbial "Penguin behind the curtain" that we are not to pay attention to.  We should emphasize that no one here believes this; nor do we believe the closely related "Pen Pen is God" theory.

Pen Pen (sometimes Pen-Pen or Pen²) is Misato's pet, a warm-water penguin, who lives in a second freezer she keeps in her apartment. She apparently took him with her when she left her previous job.

There does not seem to be a direct real-world equivalent to the species of penguin that Pen Pen is. Pen Pen clearly possesses retractable claws, which no living bird species actually have. The closest equivalent to Pen Pen seems to be an Erect-crested Penguin. He also appears to have noticeably increased intelligence, watching television and drinking beer on occasion, and it seems to be subtly hinted that he has a near-human understanding of events around him. All of this suggests that Pen Pen is a new species, created through advanced genetic experimentation.
