Chocobo

The chocobo is a large fictional bird-like animal first featured in Final Fantasy II and then all the following games in the Final Fantasy series of video games/computer games and a few associated products. Chocobos can be ridden and used as a form of transport over otherwise unaccessible terrain. Your basic everyday chocobo is large, bright yellow and fluffy, and meeps or kwehs[?] gently. These yellow chocobos are capable of running very fast over level terrain but they cannot swim or fly. As the game progresses you are able to find and/or breed more advanced and skilled chocobos, which are different colours and have different skills up to and including flight, desert-crossing, swimming in shallow water and swimming in oceans.

Chocobos are also used to support gambling through Chocobo Races (players bet on which chocobo will win). There is also a separate Chocobo Racing game in which you breed, train and race your own chocobo birds.

A spin-off product Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon also features chocobos.
