Pengators usually appear in large numbers, attempting to overwhelm [[Link]], if possible. He must dodge the attacks of the Pengators and then strike them with his [[sword]] several times to kill them. This, however, is probably the least efficient way to dispose of them; instead, Link may wait for them to line up and and come at him, then use the Hookshot, to which they have a particular weakness, to kill them instantly. The [[Fire Rod]] is also effective, particularly in ''Four Swords Adventures'' and ''A Link Between Worlds'', where it will also destroy them in one hit. The [[Bombos]] is useful against large packs. Although Pengators do have wings, they cannot use them to fly, and while they appear on frozen lakes, no signs of them swimming have been witnessed.

In A Link to the Past, Pengators usually reside in the freezing catacombs of the Ice Palace Dungeon. Pengators make their domain on sheets of ice, which aids their assaults and causes difficulty for their prey. They lunge at their quarry at high speeds, sliding across the ice on their stomachs with their mouths open, showing their razor-sharp fangs.

In the Treacherous Tower, six Pengators appear on floor 14 of the Advanced Level, which Link must fight in order to progress to the next floor. In the Ice Ruins, four Pengators fight Link alongside a Big Pengator, a larger variant of Pengator, as the Sub-Boss.
