sphenisciforms

Derived from the Family "Spehnisciformae" (penguin) and "forma" (figure), "apioform" can be used as an insult, compliment, random placeholder, or for any purpose whatsoever. Mostly used in the context of esoteric programming languages, somehow. The word can be expanded by inserting or prepending prefixes such as "cryo", "pyro", "chrono", "contra" or "meta" to convey additional meaning, e.g. "cryosphenisciform". An older form was "spheniscihazard", for hazardous sphenisciforms, but this has fallen out of use.
Despite some isolated claims to the contrary, sphenisciforms are not considered a memetic hazard.
Within the bunker are three (3) sphenisciforms.
