I love how it looks like a Chocobo, but not to a legally-objectionable extent!

They are “chimeric” and so have different animal attributes in them, there is definitely bird, and some ruminant animal DNA in there, and possibly some others….more detail to come in the future! They functionally serve the equivalent to horses in Wukrii.
Hey Nick, I will share what I posted elsewhere in the comments. The idea of using large birds or bird-like creatures as mounts is far older than the Final Fantasy series. We love the lore from past mythologies, and this is a concept that appeared in ancient mythology before it ever graced a fairy tale or fantasy epic. We based some of the characteristics on the prehistoric Dromeosaurs.

Big Bird from Sesame Street is that you?
Naw, this one is orange. Big Bird is yellow: https://youtu.be/NhP5ei8o3R4
I am 100% certain you will get no math lesson’s from these critters. And it’s true, these are various shades of orange!
That is one big bird!!

makes sense.
Glad Gatsumann’s explanation clears up things!
almost like choblos from final fantasy lols.
You don’t see too many of them with a cat like tail or muzzle though!
Drink to the proud and noble chocobo! The only friend I know!
Tikibi will be friendly as long as you don’t crash into it.
Also welcome aboard the Wukrii community IneptusMechanicus!

legs O.o!!! One would NOT want to mess with this critter.
You don’t want to be messing with any creature that’s almost the size of a pick-up truck.
