Chocobo (Final Fantasy VII)

[[File:FFVII_Chocobo_Riding_WM.jpg|thumb|Chocobo riding on the world map.]]
Chocobos can be ridden on the world map, directed with the D-pad. The terrain they can cross depends on their color variation. Yellow Chocobos can only traverse parts the party can travel while on foot, but faster and without [[Random encounter|random battles]]. Blue Chocobos can cross shallow water like the [[buggy]], and green Chocobos can cross mountains. Black Chocobos can do both and gold Chocobos can even cross the ocean. After catching a Chocobo from the tracks the player gets to mount it, but once dismounted with the cancel button it will run away unless the player has rented stables at the Chocobo Farm where an option to send the dismounted Chocobo to the farm opens up.

Chocobos from the farm can be taken out to be ridden and since they have been tamed they no longer run away when dismounted and will wait in the spot the player left it. Chocobos waiting on the world map appear on the map as a blinking dot. To mount a tame Chocobo the player simply needs to press the action button next to it. This can lead to a [[vehicles glitch]] if the player is also near another vehicle, thus attempting to board two "vehicles" at once. Tame Chocobos can be taken aboard the ''Highwind'' by boarding the airship while mounted on a Chocobo. If the player enters the ''Highwind'' as an in-game location while the Chocobo is onboard it can be interacted with in the stable and been given hay, although this doesn't affect anything.

The player is prompted to ride a Chocobo once in the story to cross the marshes outside Mythril Mine but doing so is not mandatory.
