Chocobo

Easily domesticated and trained, the chocobo is a pack animal commonly seen carrying riders and pulling wagons along the roads of Eorzea.

Chocobos are native to Dravania, where wild horsebirds scrounge in the forests and plains. Chocobos are bred throughout Eorzea however, giving rise to several breeds for specific purposes.
