'''Chocobo''' {{JA|チョコボ|Chokobo|}} is the main character for the ''{{Meta|Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon}}'' franchise.

==Biography==
===Physical Appearance===
Chocobo appears as a large bird with yellow feathers. There exist many variants of the species with different colors for their body and behavior, including their feathers.

===Personality===
While Chocobo appeared through numerous games as a different character for each one, in general, it behaves friendly towards some specific characters.

===Name Etymology===
The name "Chocobo" derives from a Japanese brand of chocolate malt ball by Morinaga, ChocoBall {{JAnb|チョコボール|Chokobōru|}}. The mascot for this product is named Kyoro-chan {{JAnb|キョロちゃん||}}, a bird who constantly says "kweh". The word {{JAnb|{{Ruby|食|く}}う|Kuu|}} is a rough way to say "eat", whose volitional casual form is {{JAnb|{{Ruby|食|く}}え|Kue|Let's scoff 'em down!}}, leading to Chocobo's iconic "Kweh!".

In ''{{Meta|Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon}}'', the protagonist's name is "Poulet" {{JAnb|プーレ|Pūre|}}, which is a French word that translates to "chicken".<ref>https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Chocobo_(Chocobo_series) Chocobo (Chocobo series) - Final Fantasy Wiki</ref> This name would be reused in {{Chocobo2Title}}.
