Chocobos (チョコボ, Chocobo) are recurring creatures from the Final Fantasy series. The Chocobo is the mascot of the Final Fantasy series alongside the Moogle.
Origin
In the Final Fantasy series, Chocobos are large birds commonly used as mounts. They are most commonly depicted as yellow, but several color variations also exist. Since their first appearance in Final Fantasy II, they have appeared in every game in the series in some way, and they could be considered one of the series' mascots. Though often domesticated, Chocobos can be found in the wild and are sometimes fought as enemies.
A specific Chocobo with a more cartoonish design, the one on which the Mii headgear is based, is the main character of the Chocobo series of spin-offs. This includes the Final Fantasy Fables set of games and the Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon trilogy; a crossover between Chunsoft's Mystery Dungeon series of roguelike and the Final Fantasy series. The same cartoonish Chocobo would later appear throughout the mainline series, such as Final Fantasy XIV with a new name, Alpha.
In Super Smash Bros. 4
Chocobos are the basis of a downloadable content Mii Fighter headgear based on the main Chocobo character of the Chocobo series, most closely resembling its appearance in Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
As a costume
Chocobo returns as downloadable content Mii Fighter hat. The design has been updated from Super Smash Bros. 4 with a sharper beak and without the eyelashes or blushing cheeks, and takes some details from its latest appearance in the Chocobo franchise, being 2019's Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon: Every Buddy!. The headgear was revealed to return during the Mr. Sakurai Presents "Sephiroth" presentation on December 17, 2020. It was released alongside the other Round 8 Mii Fighter costumes on December 22nd, 2020.
Spirit
Chocobo & Moogle comprise an unlockable spirit available through Sephiroth's DLC Spirit Board, added as part of version 10.1.0. Unlike the cartoony Mii Fighter hat, the Chocobo's spirit artwork is derived from its Final Fantasy VII Remake appearance. The Chocobo is represented by a Mii Brawler wearing the Chocobo Hat with a Yellow Tracksuit, with an Isaac Wig instead of the hat if it is not purchased, while the Moogle is represented by a gray Kirby. The Spirit Battle is meant to be very easy, with its only special element being Cuccos that constantly spawn. The spirit increases speed in reference to the Chocobo's running prowess throughout the Final Fantasy series.
