Tux is a promotional cosmetic item for all classes. It is a stylized version of Tux the Penguin, the Linux mascot, worn on the character's belt or lower back.

This item has three styles, named "Normal", "Demoman", and "Pyro". The "Demoman" style gives Tux an eyepatch, while the "Pyro" style gives Tux Pyro's gas mask and turns the flippers grey to resemble Pyro's boots.

When players equipped with this item kill an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows everyone in Pyroland that it gets the assist, with its custom name if it has one.

This item was awarded to players who launched Team Fortress 2 using any Linux distribution between February 14th, 2013 and March 1st, 2013. The Tux was still obtainable in-game past the original stated date. It was not until mid to late-March that the Tux finally became unobtainable.

Although Valve initially said[1] the Tux would become tradable once the promotion was over, it has not been done and it is unknown whether it will eventually happen or not.
