Well let's see, we have the basic Wisp, Murloc tag, Mech tag and now Beast tag 0 drops. All we're missing now is dragon, pirate, elemental, totem and demon. Chop chop Blizzard. lol.
Cuteness aside, I'll try to give this an honest review.
As a slot in your deck, this card falls flat obviously. You wouldn't slot this into your deck anymore than you'd slot wisp into it. So I'm going to review this as an extra or synergy card. In that regard, this card is not horrible. You play Jeweled Macaw and you get the lil penguin? So you essentially just played Alley Cat and honestly, that's really not bad. You play stampede in arena and get this card in your hand? That's not bad at all, since you can immediately drop him and cycle for another beast. There's probably other examples of when this card will see play and pretty much any time it's not because you put it as one of your 30 cards in your deck and you just top-decked it, it's really not too horrible.
Overall though I voted dust it. Dust it because this card does nothing for your collection. Played as a side-effect from other cards? Meh, it's not the greatest but it's not the worst. Played because you actually drew it as a top-deck? ahahahaha......yeah.
So, yuk it up folks, but you will come to despise this card. The reason is that there are a number of cards for hunter that say "if you control a beast do X". The zero cost then has the effect of making it so this card is in every hunter deck whether it actually is or not. Are you sure you can play a 5 health minion, I mean they don't have a beast, or do they? Turn 3 coin to penguin to Houndmaster, uh oh, a 4/3 and 3/3 taunt. This is the very reason they had to nerf Hunter's Mark. I may or may not put a penguin in my deck, but you will be forced to play around it, nonetheless.
Most likely meta defining as both druid and Hunter will play it. It's insane with Mark in druid for a turn 2 draw a card 3/3 and hunters hyena will love it with ally cats.
Play Alleycat and Snowflipper Penguin on turn 1 against Pirate Warrior. Turn 2 play Scavenging Hyena. Boom! You clear your opponen'ts board and summon a 8/5. Bottom RIght for Pirate Warrior.
This is a 0 mana 1/1 charge. if stonetusk Boar limits design space, this card breaks the game with Tundra Rhino.
Still not convinced? You say you would rather play a Timber Wolf? as this card kinda loses you one draw. Play Starving Buzzard! 5 mana 3/2 - summon a 1/1 and draw a card is just amazing. You can even play Stampede before playing Starving Buzzard, but I like to go face.
This is a 0 mana 3/3 with Dinomancy!
This can activate Kill Command on turn 3 without board. Activate Crackling Razormaw on turn 2 without board!
This guy gives your Zombeasts +1/+1. that's just insane!! Imagine a 3/6 charging Tundra Rhino! or do you prefer A 3/3 rat Pack for 3 mana? We This Penguin has it all.
DRUID SYNERGY:
This is a free Token for Druid. Druid now gets a 5 mana 7/7 Druid of the Fang without any hassle and your opponent cannot do anything unless they want to Dirty Rat your Penguin.
Use Mark of Y'Shaarj to summon a 2 mana 3/3 without losing a draw! if you consider drawing this as losing a draw.
PALADIN SYNERGY:
Draw this Penguin with your Curator and Cast Spikeridged Steed on it without having the fear of it being devolved! If you draw bot these cards early, then you have a target for Spikeridged Steed on turn 6 no matter what. Your opponent cannot prevent it. this card is a direct debuff to Devolve. Yes, you can even do it with Wisp, but this penguin has got Curator Synergy!
MAGE SYNERGY:
This cute little Penguin has direct synergy with Frost Lich Jaina. This is a 2 mana Water Elemental when combined with the new hero power! Again, Curator SYnergy as well which will also draw your Sindragosa.
ROGUE SYNERGY:
This Penguin can complete the Rogue quest by turn 2 and is a good combo activator as well. Better than WIsp because, you might get some beast synergy coz of Swashburglar.
There are a lot more less SIgnificant SYnergies, but if I go on, it might be time for the release of next expansion. this card is so cool. there is a lot to talk about this card.

i dont think hunter wants to run out of cards even faster, same for the beast druid. i havent seen paladins run wisps just to counter devolve. it does go along with quest rouge but that was nerfed. its just a silly 0 mana 1/1 no hype here
Penguin mage synergy? You should check your collection with 0 drops one more time..
You might find a murloc which does the same for you.
Murloc Tinyfin is no more in standard. and Snowflipper Penguin is better than Wisp because Curator can't draw Wisp and Mage will be playing Curator because of Sindragosa and even Alexstrasza. In wild you can play both the Penguin and the Murloc and convert them into Water Elementals!
the 0/1/1 pirate will be called "smaller-time buccaneer"
Vvreeeew.

My first impression is my most hated Caverns Below ... lol

Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.
Most likely meta defining as both druid and Hunter will play it. It's insane with Mark in druid for a turn 2 draw a card 3/3 and hunters hyena will love it with ally cats.
Snowflipper Penguin: So that's why they nerfed Starving Buzzard!

BibleThump confirmed

You will see it from time to time when Devolveing a 1-drop
