Chocobo

Chocobos are a recurring race of birdlike mounts from many of the Final Fantasy games. They appear as early as Final Fantasy II.

Appearance in Tactics
In Final Fantasy Tactics, Chocobos appear in three different varieties: Normal (Yellow), Black, and Red. Each is slightly different in the types of abilities it can use in battle. If a Chocobo is recruited by the heroes, a human character can ride the Chocobo in battle for much quicker transportation and to fly over obstacles.
