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, kwehs, or warks 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.
To mount a person in Final Fantasy means to put onto a Chocobo. Mounted characters in Final Fantasy XI are Chocobo-riding characters.
A Chocobo also appeared in Seiken Densetsu 1, but later changed into a Chocobot.
