A Legacy Built
Formed in February 2010 by Wwebestfan, the Doritos of Club Penguin have remained a formidable force within the army community. Their legacy has witnessed many highs and lows since their revival on November 3. With multiple tournament campaigns, they have reached the Grand Finals in the Christmas Chaos XIV tournament. They have recently engaged in several wars with armies such as the Void Troops and the Templars.

The Dorito Decline
Amidst internal controversy and leadership disputes, several members opted for retirement, precipitating a period of instability for the Doritos. This tumultuous phase saw a marked decline in their event participation. Resultingly, they recently fell to the Small/Medium army status following an extended era of diminished activity.
