The Emperor Penguin waddles across the Ice Shelf with great dignity. Hers is the Frozen Coast's boss egg, the last of the stage, with a shell that takes five cracks.
Laying her egg: “Waddle waddle!”
Once it's laid: “Ice work!”
A baby's first words: “Waddle waddle!”
The six Emperor Penguin babies
Every species in Perfect Crack has six Hatchery Babies: the everyday baby you meet first, four rare colours (Frost, Shadow, Golden and Rainbow, from sparkly and Rainbow eggs) and the Champion, won from the Champion egg in your scored Daily Challenge. Once freed, they live in your Frozen Coast habitat for good. In the game, tap a baby in its habitat on three different days to become friends and hear its secret.
Babies you haven't found in the game yet are hidden. Tap one to peek, or .

Waddles
Emperor Penguin · Common
Shy
Favourite activity: Belly-sliding across frozen lakes
Waddles is one of the quietest penguins on the Frozen Coast. While the others race down the ice, he watches from a distance until he's sure it's safe. Once he's comfortable, he shows his real talent: belly-sliding further across a frozen lake than any penguin on the coast.
“A gentle soul who prefers listening to talking. Often underestimated, and surprisingly brave when it matters.”
Secret: He dreams of becoming an explorer, and keeps a hand-drawn map under his favourite snow mound.

Ice Cube
Frost Emperor Penguin · Uncommon · Carries the mark of the Great Frost
Playful
Favourite activity: Racing down the ice slide
Ice Cube races down the ice slide over and over, faster every time. He's frosty, fizzy and full of energy, and his favourite word is 'Again!' The others have learned to get out of the way at the bottom.
“Fastest down the slide. Slowest to come in for tea.”
Secret: He's planning a slide all the way from the Frostlight Cliffs to Pebble Bay.

Tux
Shadow Emperor Penguin · Rare · Carries the mark of the Great Eclipse
Mischievous
Favourite activity: Splashing friends from the ice hole
Tux looks very smart in his dark feathers, as if he's dressed for a party. Don't be fooled. He loves splashing friends from the ice hole, popping up with a wink and a 'Gotcha!' just as they waddle past.
“Impeccably dressed. Impossibly cheeky.”
Secret: He has a bow tie that he only wears on special occasions.
✓
Flipper
Golden Emperor Penguin · Super rare · Carries the mark of the Golden Dawn
Brave
Favourite activity: Swimming under the Ice Shelf
Flipper swims under the Ice Shelf, where the water is deepest and coldest, just to see what's down there. Her golden feathers flash in the dark water like a torch. She always comes back with something: a shell, a stone or a very confused fish.
“Explores the deep places most Keepers wouldn't. Comes back smiling.”
Secret: She has found an old Guild boat under the Ice Shelf, and she isn't telling anyone yet.
✓
Slider
Rainbow Emperor Penguin · Ultra rare · Carries the mark of the Great Rainbow
Friendly
Favourite activity: Teaching babies to slide
Slider teaches the little ones to slide. She shows them how to tuck in their flippers, lie flat on their bellies and push off, then slides beside them all the way down. Her rainbow feathers leave a shimmering trail on the ice.
“The kindest teacher on the ice. Half the penguins on the coast learned from Slider.”
Secret: She taught Waddles to slide, and she's very proud of him.
✓
Chilly
Champion Emperor Penguin · Champion · Won at the Hatchery Show
Clumsy
Favourite activity: Waddling in circles
Chilly waddled round in a circle on the Hatchery Show stage because he'd forgotten which way was out. He waddles in circles every day, getting slightly dizzy and very happy.
“A Champion who always finds his way back. Eventually.”
Secret: His circles are getting smaller. He thinks he has nearly cracked it.
Did you know? Emperor penguin dads keep the egg warm on their feet, under a fold of skin, for about two months through the Antarctic winter.
