Fastball Special: They blow up upon impact (but can easily get better).Everything's Better with Penguins: The shape of their "suits".This is probably used to justify their appallingly poor treatment. And given what most demons are capable of stooping to, that's saying something. Even Evil Has Standards: Whatever sins they committed in life were apparently bad enough that they can't even get into the Netherworld without first going through Prinny penance.Disgaea 4 all but outright states that Prinny training is what breaks them down from whatever they were into this. The Ditz: With some exceptions, Prinnies seem to lose a lot of IQ points upon becoming one.Disaster Dominoes: Throwing Prinnies or otherwise causing explosions in a Prinny-heavy field can lead to a cascade of the remaining Prinnies getting blown up as well.Because of this, they don't always do very much damage to the opponent unless properly leveled and equipped. Death of a Thousand Cuts: Their standard attack is slicing at the opponent multiple times for multiple hits.Breakout Mook Character: They got their own game, in which they really can be the hero.Blade Spam: Their stronger attacks consist of throwing knives.In Celestia they must do good deeds (usually cleaning and housework) while in the Netherworlds they do menial tasks (cheap labor and soldiers) for low pay in order to earn enough money to literally pay off their karmic debt. The Atoner: Prinnies are the souls of dead sinners trapped in penguin suits, and must work at the Netherworld and Celestia to repent and be reincarnated.Almighty Janitor: They're rank-and-file minions who work for Overlords to wash off their sins and gain a second chance at life, and as a playable character class they are capable of reaching astronomical levels and stats just like the other classes.Adorable Evil Minions: The souls of dead sinners.All Prinnies contain the souls of sinners and criminals and, as such, are designated by the Powers That Be as the Butt Monkeys of the universe. In fandom, they have been upheld by fans as the unofficial mascots of the franchise, a position since adopted by the developers, leading to their own spinoff game. Etna keeps a squadron of Prinnies with her at all times. Prinnies are exploding demon penguins who talk like Surfer Doods which serve as the primary labor force of the Netherworld (though they exist in Celestia as well and are treated better there). Not actually a character per se, but still deserving of mention.
