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.
