Gold chocobo



Gold Chocobo is a recurring type of chocobo. They are the rarest and most powerful breed of chocobo, able to fly and cross any type of terrain.

Final Fantasy VII
The gold chocobo, known as the Ocean Chocobo, is the final result of the chocobo breeding sidequest, resulting from breeding a black chocobo with a "wonderful" yellow chocobo using a Zeio Nut. It is able to cross all types of types of terrain and so can reach the Round Island where the Knights of the Round Materia is found. When racing in the Gold Saucer, gold chocobos have the highest stats of all types, and are unaffected by all course hazards.

Aside from breeding, the player can acquire a gold chocobo by defeating Ruby Weapon and giving the item it drops, the Desert Rose, to the Kalm Traveler.

Final Fantasy IX
The gold chocobo is called the Sky Chocobo, and is Choco's final evolution. To acquire it, the player must location the six Chocograph pieces in Chocobo's Forest and Chocobo's Lagoon, completing the Mist Ocean chocograph that holds the Sky upgrade. Only the gold chocobo is able to enter Chocobo's Air Garden.

Some versions of Final Fantasy IX have a glitch, which occurs if the player obtains the gold chocobo before they obtain an airship, letting them skip parts of the story completely.

Final Fantasy XIII-2
The player can open a hidden container to find a Golden Chocobo in A Dying World 700 AF. It is among the top Commando type monsters in the game and one the best contenders in the chocobo races. It doesn't stand out as much as in other games though, as it is overshadowed in racing by the Silver Chocobo and matched by the Red Chocobo as a Commando, though with different specialties. It is one-of-a-kind monster.
