Tux is a promotional miscellaneous item for all classes. It is a stylized version of the Linux mascot, Template:W, worn on the character's belt.
This item has three styles, "Normal", "Demoman" and "Pyro". While the Demoman style simply gives Tux an eyepatch on his left eye, the Pyro style removes his head completely and replaces it with the Pyro's gas mask, as well as changes the flippers to be grey and boot-like.
This item is awarded to players who launch Team Fortress 2 using any Linux distribution between February 14th, 2013 and March 1st, 2013.

Trivia
- Tux's name is derived from the acronym "Torvalds' UniX," after Linux kernel developer Linus Torvalds and the Unix operating system.
- A tuxedo, or "tux" for short, is also casually referred to as a penguin suit.
