The Pengoons
The Pengoons is one of the possible first fights a player can run into. The fight is won when the Miniboss, Big Peng, is defeated.
Strategy
The Pengoons use penguin wave tactics to try and rush down vulnerable Companions. Each Pengoon has low 
health and 
attack, but they attack very quickly and can pile on damage if left unchecked. If a Chungoon spawns, leave it alone so that its attack can't increase until the time is right to burst it down. The Waddlegoons in the second wave have a huge amount of health and deal triple the damage of a regular Pengoon, so taking them down quickly is imperative. Once Big Peng appears, keep an eye on its attack. Defeating its Pengoon vanguard does reduce the damage the team takes (a Pengoon deals 1 damage every 2 turns, while Big Peng will gain 1 attack but attacks every 3 turns), but the damage will be dealt in one burst to a target.
Since the Pengoons are one of the starting fights, there is no opportunity to obtain new Companions, Items, or Clunkers. Make good use of the starting items, as Pengoons can be defeated in one hit. If Big Peng's attack grows out of control, use the starting 
Woodhead, 
Junjun, or 
Junkhead to take the blow, or 
Snow him to buy time.
Spike or a Leader with Smackback can trivialize this fight, since all attacking Pengoons will immediately be killed. With good planning and a little luck, this can be a good way to unlock 
Lil' Gazi (which requires a 6x kill combo).
