Dire Chicken
Birds come in a tremendous variety of shapes, sizes, and coloration. Some have superstitions associated with them, such as being omens of good luck or a bountiful harvest. Others are trained to help hunters track prey, and carrion birds are known to circle dead or dying prey like a menacing omen.
Chickens
Chickens are often raised as livestock to produce eggs or be eaten, but a Chicken’s docile appearance hides its capacity to fight viciously if pushed.
