Role in the Story So Far
Donut retrieved Penelope from the One Fine Pig garage during the Grand Prix. Carl later fed her a Nothing Special Party Companion biscuit to grant her sapience, then used her as bait to summon Taranis (god of lightning) to the Floor 11 arena.
Carl carried her in a specially designed backpack harness during the arena battle. She wore Katia's Enchanted Spiked Kneepads (giving her deity proximity effects) and a nipple ring (Petey Motteux's Little Secret, providing oxygenation inside Scolopendra's body).
Taranis became briefly enamored with Penelope — the AI's deliberate manipulation. Emberus's killing blow was redirected to Penelope via Carl's Lucky Shot patch; Taranis then healed her before she could die.
She and Taranis briefly "dated" and broke up when he lied about providing splooge.
After the battle, Mordecai was assigned as her game guide. She was informed she would receive a special deal as a "dungeon born" entity.
