Mountain Chocobo

Special Ability	Vertical Scaling

Unlike any other Chocobo, these ones have more formidable talons that help them climb up steep slopes and even scale cliffs. Mountain Chocobos have dark gray feathers and distinctive orange talons, and can be found around rocky and mountanous areas.

If you see a cliff face with special markings, be on the lookout for Mountain Chocobos. In order to scale these cliff, you're going to need their help! You could start mounting a Mountain Chocobo after you've started the Stuck in a Rut Quest and captured Belle.

Sky Chocobo

Special Ability	Glide off certain areas

Among many other obstacles that will stand in your way during your travels are deep gorges and ravines. To cross these, you need the help of Sky Chocobos that can fly off of gliding points and use their wings to soar through great distances!

Sky Chocobos possess a prominent sky blue coloration, making them easy to distinguish from other Chocobos in the wild.

Ocean Chocobo

Special Ability	Chocojet: Use water to propel self upwards.

Ocean Chocobos are useful around any body of water, as they can fly high into the air above water using their Chocojet ability. They can also hover slightly above ground, which is useful for when you need to descend from cliffs which are too high for Cloud to drop down from on his own.

Ocean Chocobos are also blue in color, albeit appear to be a bit more cerulean.

Jungle Chocobo

Special Ability	Bounces off giant mushrooms and slides down large branches.

Some players may encounter giant mushrooms or large branches when traversing forests. Forest Chocobos can take advantage of these obstacles as they can jump off of giant mushrooms and slide off of large tree branches.

As one would expect, Forest Chocobos are green in color and can generally be found in heavily-wooded areas.

Mecha-Chocobo

The Mecha-Chocobo is a racing Chocobo with speed stats greater than all other Chocobos. It also boasts the best stats among all Chocobos, making it a great choice when playing Chocobo Races. You can unlock this one by completing the Can't Stop, Won't Stop side quest.
