📹 Garry's Mod — Viral Sandbox Videos (English)
Three viral videos posted in a five-day burst (May 2 to May 6, 2026). Two are from SHOOTABIRDIE, a 3.9M-subscriber Gmod monster channel — when that scale of channel picks up the meme, it's left the Arknights niche and entered general sandbox audience.

📖 Garry's Mod — Tutorials from Chinese Creators (Bilibili)
The Chinese-language Gmod tutorial library is where the actual building knowledge lives. Chinese creators call this character "Còu Qǐ'é" (凑企鹅) — same Endmin, different romanization. The top tutorial pulled 316K views in three weeks. Auto-translate captions handle the technical PAC3 steps fine.

🔮 Palworld — The Only Endmin Mod
The Palworld side is sparser but real. One author (modcustomization) has shipped a Pengullet replacement that swaps the vanilla pal for an Endmin chibi penguin. Available on two platforms below; a third platform link is intentionally not included because it's been removed.

📊 Why Gmod Drove This Meme's Second Wave
Most game-character memes don't make it into Gmod. This one did, and the timing tells you why:
Gmod's PAC3 (Player Appearance Customizer 3) lets you build a character with poses, lipsync, and decoration without ever opening Blender. The skill ceiling is high but the floor is low — exactly the on-ramp this meme's creator audience needed.
SHOOTABIRDIE has 3.9M subs and runs a general Gmod monster/sandbox channel — not an Arknights channel. When that kind of channel makes Endmin content, the meme has crossed out of its origin fandom and into general sandbox-modding culture.
Bilibili Chinese tutorials peaked late April. YouTube English sandbox videos peaked early May. Two-week phase shift across language barriers — the meme is propagating creator-to-creator, not just shared-link-to-shared-link.
❓ Frequently Asked
Is there a real Gugu Gaga Penguin mod for Garry's Mod?
There's no single packaged 'mod' file — Gmod creators build the Gugu Gaga Penguin (Endmin) character with PAC3, Garry's Mod's in-engine character editor. The most-watched tutorial is 希望花园-'s 316K-view Bilibili walkthrough, which takes you from a blank avatar to a complete Endmin character with poses. We list four more tutorials below.
Where can I download the Palworld Gugu Gaga Penguin mod?
CurseForge: GuGu GaGa - Endministrator Penguin From Arknights Endfield by modcustomization (replaces the Pengullet pal). GameBanana hosts a same-author mirror. The Nexus Mods version (mods/3318) was removed by Nexus staff — no public reason given. Both remaining links are live and maintained.
Why does YouTube search for 'gugu gaga penguin' surface the wrong videos?
It's a phrase shared across multiple memes — D Billions baby song, Pingu (claymation penguin), Santa Claus chocolate meme, and the Endmin penguin all use it. The 22.7M-view ZOOWAKE video that comes up first is actually Pingu, not Endmin. Look for 'Endmin' / 'Endministrator' / 'Arknights Endfield' in the title or description to filter to the right meme.
Is Còu Qǐ'é (凑企鹅) the same as Gugu Gaga Penguin?
Yes — Còu Qǐ'é is the Chinese fan name for the same Endmin character. Bilibili tutorial creators almost universally use the Chinese form instead of the romanized 'gugu gaga'; same character, same meme. If you're searching Bilibili for tutorials, the Chinese form plus 'gmod' returns more hits than the romanized one.
Can I use Endmin / Penguinistrator mods in commercial content?
No. Hypergryph holds the IP for Arknights: Endfield and the Endmin character. Every mod and tutorial linked here is non-commercial fan content. If you build derivative work for monetized streams or video, you're carrying the same risk as any other unlicensed Arknights fan project.
