About Chocobos
Chocobos are a recurring animal in the Final Fantasy franchise, a collection of role-playing games and other media produced by Square Enix . They first appeared in Final Fantasy II and were designed by Koichi Ishii. They could be compared to Final Fantasy's equivalent of a horse, as they help players move quickly, pull carts, and perform other related activities. Chocobos are often considered one of the franchise's mascots, having appeared in virtually every Final Fantasy game to date. The adorable birds have even inspired game titles where they themselves are the central characters, such as Chocobo Race and Chocobo Mystery Dungeon. Chocobos have inspired a large number of pieces of merchandise , including Chocobo coffee mugs, Chocobo rubber duckies, Chocobo costumes, and, of course, plush toys. Chocobos are one of the oldest and most iconic video game creations of all time, and their popularity can only truly be rivaled by Moogles , another mascot-like character from the Final Fantasy franchise.

Appearance

Chocobos are often depicted as flightless yellow birds that walk on two legs with three talons on each. A chocobo's beak is also yellow or orange, depending on the depiction. While the most common chocobos are yellow, there are other breeds that are stronger and capable of things like swimming and flying. These breeds are rare but come in a variety of colors that often illustrate their strength, with gold chocobos being the strongest. It turns out they may be derived from an ancient bird species called Gastornis, which shares the chocobo's bipedal and flightless characteristics.

Description

Chocobos have a variety of appearances and have evolved over the years. Final Fantasy II Chocobos typically live in grasslands and snowfields. If threatened, they can be dangerous and pose a risk, but they can easily warm up to players and will help them move at high speeds and cross physical obstacles like rivers. When captured from the wild, they can also be ridden to avoid random enemy encounters. Chocobos enjoy eating Gysahl greens. A special chocobo named Boko has reappeared in later installments of the series and his name has been recycled numerous times. In Final Fantasy IV , a black-colored species of Chocobo capable of fighting is encountered, and in Final Fantasy XIII , Sazh Katzroy keeps a baby Chocobo as a pet. Final Fantasy XI Players can raise and even breed Chocobos, an activity that appears as a side quest in several other games. In many games, they can be summoned into battle, while in others they have the ability to fly. The leader of the Chocobos is called the Fat Chocobo, an unusually large Chocobo who is able to speak and wield magical powers that can influence his subordinate Chocobos.
