Pax (also known by his real name Paxton, Blue by his feather color or Pengu by his surname and in reference to the titular token coin) is a male blue penguin and a character who serves as the two main couple protagonists (alongside his girlfriend Polly) of the animated short video reels from the social-media accounts of the NFT collection Pudgy Penguins as well as its main mascot.

Physical Appearance:

Pax is a male penguin with a big head, a three-feathered tuft, big black eyes, a small amber beak, a chubby body, cornflower blue feathers, a white belly and two round amber feet.

Trivia:

• A mint-colored penguin appeared in 4 videos of Pudgy Penguins with Polly from April 8 to May 14 in 2023. It's unknown if he's an ex-boyfriend to Polly or if he's a prototype of Pax. However, Velvet Caviar has an edition of the video Who’s guilty of this 5 days a week? ⏰ which changes the mint-colored penguin to Pax and features Pudgy Penguin-themed phone cases for the penguins' phones.
• Pax and Polly are among different types of duos:
  • Couples which have blue boyfriends and pink girlfriends, being this type of couples called pink-and-blue couples. Sonic the Hedgehog and Amy Rose from Sega are one example for this type of couples. Despite this, there are also couples whose pink-and-blue color schemes are different:
    • Mario and Princess Peach from Nintendo are a human couple with fair skin who follow the pink-and-blue color scheme and apply it for their clothing, being blue for Mario and pink for Peach.
    • Sadness from Inside Out and Embarrassment from Inside Out 2 are a couple who follow the pink-and-blue color scheme with the colors swapped for the partners in the sense of considering pink for the boyfriend and blue for the girlfriend, being pink for Embarrassment and blue for Sadness.
  • Lookalike recolor duos like Mario and Luigi from Nintendo.
• Pax and Polly's names make a reference to the titular siblings from the 2018 series Polly Pocket as the four make two duos of characters with the same names.
  • Despite this, Polly the penguin's real name is Paulie.
• Pax and Polly's real names begin with Pa- (Paxton for Pax and Paulie for Polly), making reference to couples whose partners begin their names with the same letter or group of letters. One of those couples is Mickey and Minnie (Michael for Mickey and Minerva for Minnie) Mouse from Disney.
  • With this, Pax and Polly are considered to be counterparts of Mickey and Minnie for Web3 in the sense of being considered as the main face characters of their respective origins (Mickey and Minnie for Disney, and Pax and Polly for Pudgy Penguins but also applied for Web3).
• There are some other couples in the Pudgy Penguins media who can be seen interacting with Pax and Polly:
  • Pudgy and Peaches from PudgyWorld
    • Pax and Polly's coincidences with Pudgy and Peaches take place in three reels from late December 2023 before Pudgy and Peaches' reel season from December 30, 2023 to February 6, 2024.
  • Rogbert and Fifille
