Description
Chocobos are large flightless birds, at well over 10' tall, that roam in large herds ranging in size from a hundred to well over a thousand. While normally social, when laying eggs, the females will go off into the mountains to lay their eggs in solitude. Once the eggs are hatched, they mother and her young will stay in the mountains until the newborns are strong enough to make the return journey to the herd, usually two to three months.
These giant herds tend to wander in the plains surrounding mountains and hills, occasionally wandering into the nearby forests. Considered to be highly intelligent, these birds can be readily domesticated.
Favored by the gnomes of the hills and forests that border the chocobos' natural habitat for their endurance and speed, an adult chocobo can match a horse for speed and distance. If raised from birth, a chocobo will remain loyal to its rider for their entire lives, often refusing to take a new rider if their rider dies while with the chocobo; there have even been instances of adolescent chocobos becoming jealous of their rider's other mounts.
