Biography

Physical Appearance

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 (Japanese: チョコボール). The mascot for this product is named Kyoro-chan (Japanese: キョロちゃん), a bird who constantly says "kweh". The word (Japanese: 食(く)う) is a rough way to say "eat", whose volitional casual form is (Japanese: 食(く)え, Let's scoff 'em down!), leading to Chocobo's iconic "Kweh!".

In Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon, the protagonist's name is "Poulet" (Japanese: プーレ), which is a French word that translates to "chicken". This name would be reused in  Chocobo's Dungeon 2.
