The Fat Chocobo has many names throughout the Final Fantasy franchise. It is also known by Big Chocobo, Chubby Chocobo and The Godsbird. Fat Chobocos are large and hefty chocobos that look like gigantic chicks. In the earlier installments of Final Fantasy, Fat Chobocos are able to help players carry items and loot. Aside from being a mount, it also appears when summoned in battles whose signature attack involves landing on the enemy party and crushing them for massive damage.
