Turkey

This plump fowl has dark plumage, great and long wattles, and a spread tail, though shorter than a peacock’s display. Its gobble is loud and intimidating.

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.

Special Abilities

Drift (Ex) A giant chicken flies in short bursts and can’t use its fly speed to hover. When it flies, a chicken must end its move action by landing or perching on a solid surface. A giant chicken cannot fly while carrying a rider.

Giant chickens are large enough to be used as mounts, though they are not very practical unless a rider wants to use their mount as a food reserve too. They are mostly raised for their meat and eggs, like normal-sized chicken.
