The 'Seven Deadly Sins' are - superbia (hubris/pride), avaritia (avarice/greed), luxuria (extravagance, later lust), invidia (envy), gula (gluttony), ira (wrath), and acedia (sloth)
The seven deadly sins are often associated with certain colors and animals:
Pride: violet and horse
Envy: green and dog
Wrath: red and bear
Sloth: light blue and goat
Greed: yellow and frog
Gluttony: orange and pig
Lust: blue and cow
This would explain certain sayings such as "seeing red" when one is very angry, the "green-eyed monster" (referring to envy), or "pigging out" (referring to excessive eating).

Penguins represent all of the sins known to mankind. They are evil incarnate.

I suppose you could use a sloth for sloth and a pig for gluttony.
