A "Bot", in the Club Penguin sense of the word, typically describes a penguin account created solely for novelty and/or cheating purposes, designed to do a specific and often bizarre task. When CP cheating was at its peak, bots appeared on numerous circumstances for various reasons. Bot groups are controlled by one person. Each bot is designed to do one task as many times as possible until it receives a ban or until the script reaches the end, which is often never reached due to a while true loop. These assignments can range from humorous ideals such as repeating another penguin's speech to supposed(this has not beeen confirmed to still be possible) criminal(legal but cruelish) task like banning random penguins on contact. A Bot is a type of macro.

Bots normally stand in one place, performing their job in a highly populated room of a heavily occupied server, but sometimes they will walk to random parts of a room using the rand(1st number, second number) fuction (eg. everyone panic bots, which are sometimes joined in by non bots).

The most popular type of Bot is a "Word-Bot", Word bots are Bots that spell out a word such as "HI".

Another popular type of bot is the "Follow-bot" where the bots can be spread out or can be in the same spot and constantly follow each other.

Some penguins actually pretend to be bots for their own enjoyment. Though, the difference between an actual human-controlled penguin and an automated bot is very clear. Bots can easily generate speech bubbles the second a nearby user does, for instance. Some people pretend to be item bots, which claim that they can give you an item if you ask and that it will apear later. there may be bots that pretend to do this, ones that actually work would be impossible without the username and password.

A well known bot maker is Northyy, famous for his raid of "formation bots" on the server Sleet.
