Special Abilities

Familiar The master of a turkey familiar gains a +3 bonus on Intimidate checks.

Wild turkeys in their native forests are slender, ferocious, and surprisingly good at flight. Domesticated turkeys are much plumper; their flight maneuverability is clumsy and they gain the drift special ability of a chicken or peafowl. Domesticated turkey are mainly raised for their meat.
