Chill Penguin: Chill Penguin was originally a Maverick Hunter from the 13th Polar Region Unit. He has flexible thought circuits in order to perform missions with such a small body, but his pensive nature created strong animosity between himself and Flame Mammoth. Their conflicting personalities, a strategic cool head and a brute force hot head, made for some malicious bickering. Fire and ice have never been known to get along in the same setting. Bored to death by his dull and dreary post at the quiet South Pole, he was unsatisfied with his lot in life. When he hear the 17th Battalion was revolting, Chill Penguin happily joined Sigma's rebellion, thinking it would be fun. However, he had a bigger motive to betray the Maverick Hunters. The Reploid also has a secret jealousy toward Mega Man X. This is partly because he disapproved of X's hesitation in battle, though X only did so to avoid hurting an innocent Reploid when it was captured by a berserk Mechaniloid. After seeing that X got a lot of favoritism as a Maverick Hunter and an active role in pursuing Mavericks, despite his hesitant nature, Chill Penguin felt that he was being shortchanged for all his hard work. If X wasn't making the most of his great power and abilities, then he didn't deserve the glory or status, let alone any abilities at all. In his book, he's the one who should be held in high regard. This knowledge, coupled with the insult of being assigned the most humdrum post in the Maverick Hunter ranks, was the final nail in the coffin for Chill Penguin. He quit the Maverick Hunters in a huff and didn't look back, knowing he was held in low regard. In reality, Chill Penguin was given his post for good reason. Some Hunters claim his flexible thinking ability has led him to contemplate some genuinely disturbing thoughts. He's been thought of as warped, and most Hunters are reluctant to pair up with him. With a little pressuring, the high-ranking officials of the Maverick Hunters finally caved into the Hunters' demands and distanced him from society.

Cool Facts: On the U.S. box art for both the PC and SNES versions, Launch Octopus can be seen with a purple color instead of his red color seen in the game.

The Homing Torpedo weapon is misspelled as "Horming Torpedo." This was fixed in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X.
