Description Normally, like in real life, penguins aren't meant to have them. Listing in order from left to right:

1. Torvalds "Tux" Unix, the Linux Mascot. I actually figured out what his full name is, or logically deduced what his full name is, given his background. Back in the 2000's, the Golden Age of Internet, Tux has received a lot of spotlight, particularly about the now apparently dead website called Crystal XP Tux Factory, with thousands of pictures of Tux as other characters. Apparently, the all migrated to Pintrest, where most of them are, but I still missed that website. I did think about giving Tux an outie because most of the time I've seen him with a bellybutton these days, it has been an outie, with the exception of Ninja Tux by Living Oxymoron, which is a specialty for me and an inspiration of portraying him as he is in my fan fic starring him. The most popular picture of Tux, I noticed, was the DJ Tux Mix, which is used a lot. A new Frozen Bubble game came out called Frozen Bubble Remastered, and that stars a couple of Linux-inspired penguins with bellybuttons.

2. Nobuo. People joke about why Waluigi gets no love, but come on! Nobuo appeared only in one game called Animal Forest E+, part of the Animal Crossing series, and the version he was in was only released in Japan. Seriously! This lazy cutie that doesn't mind his bellybutton sticking out of his shirt at all deserves more spotlight, like appearing in another Animal Crossing game for Nintendo Switch, for example! Funny because I always tie cute tummies with swimming, and the only other character in the Animal Crossing series with a bellybutton is Wendell, and he's a walrus.

3. Pentarou of the Parodius series. Playing around with Ubuntu, looking through the online game library, I saw a picture of another penguin with a bellybutton holding a slingshot, which is apparently the logo for OpenMSX. I looked up OpenMSX penguin and found Penguin Adventure which introduced me to Pentarou. This guy is probably a decade older than the other two, as he was the Konami Mascot in the 1980's. Apparently, Konami has a thing about penguins with bellybuttons, as Pentarou was the mascot like I said before, not to mention both his parents in Penguin Adventure, or several Parodius villains. Said penguins intend to have bellybuttons as their weak spots, the very point the player has to aim for to hurt or kill them, or otherwise shoot beams out of them.

Funny how the guy was forced to put a watermark on Tux to make his bellybutton say, "The Nass!" As far as the picture on the right, it's one of the coolest Linux fanart I came across, and the original picture came out in 2005, during the Golden Age of the Internet. The belly button and the ninjatsu talent make Tux as monkey as swimming talent, cute potbelly, and love and tolerance for snow and ice make Diddy Kong penguin.
