My Favorite Pet ~kweh!

I've had several pets in the past...kittens, chicken, ducks, cubs, dragons, fairy, evil spirits, huskies, tigers, angels, turtles, and a lot others...but none of them can beat my all-time favorite, Chocobo.

A trademark character of Final Fantasy series, it has debuted as a main character in a Final Fantasy spin off titled Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon (Chocobo no Fushigina Dungeon) in December 23, 1997. Now, after a decade of waiting, Square-Enix feels that this adorable Chocobo baby is ready to make a smashing come back. Check out this game trailer and fall in love again with the cutest bird to ever land on the planet.

A Chocobo (チョコボ, Chokobo) is a fictional large, normally flightless galliforme/ratite bird capable of being ridden and is a staple of the Final Fantasy series. While ordinary Chocobos are yellow, certain rare breeds are of different colors and have special abilities, such as crossing mountains or flight. An even rarer, more extreme variant is the Fat Chocobo (or Chubby Chocobo), which resembles a morbidly obese yellow or white chocobo and can humorously stock the party's items in its stomach or appear randomly when summoning a chocobo in battle. The sound characteristic of a Chocobo is "Wark" or "Kweh." Chocobos have occasionally been sighted as lightly armored war mounts in which case they can assist their riders with beak and claw. Overall, the species is a very versatile and useful bird, which comes in handy as horses are untamed or non-existent in Final Fantasy games. The onomatopoeia for a chocobo's call is "Kweh" (クエ, Kue) and is sometimes replaced with "Wark" in the English translation.

Chocobos first appeared in Final Fantasy II, and have been featured in almost all subsequent Final Fantasy games, as well as making cameo appearances in numerous non-Final Fantasy Square Enix games. Chocobos also have a spin-off series dedicated to them.
