Dodo

Dodo bird

Dodo birds are passive creatures found throughout a blockhead's world. They are a source of several items used as food as well as items that are used in the crafting process.

Appearance

Dodos are short, flightless birds. Their bodies are red with a splash of purple towards the back. They have blue heads and feet, as well as long beaks shading from light near the head to black at the tip.

Where Found

Dodos randomly appear near apple trees and can be found in nearly all warm biome regions, especially in areas with an abundance of trees.

Behavior

Dodo birds are typically solitary animals but may have presocial behavior when other dodo birds are in the area. They can be found walking or pecking the ground. Like most creatures, they cannot climb a two-block change in height. They occasionally squawk when a blockhead is in the vicinity and when provoked or attacked will attempt to flee from a blockhead.

Health

See also: Creature Hit Chart

A dodo bird is not a hardy creature, usually falling within a few hits from a particular weapon or tool. Whether dying on its own or killed, a dying dodo makes a distinctive "squawk" sound.

Dodos are not affected by heat or cold, but can drown if submerged in water.

Uses

Dodos are a source of three things:

• Dodo Eggs - Randomly dropped by a dodo bird when provoked, frightened, or at random intervals.
• Dodo Meat - Randomly dropped by a dodo bird when it dies.
• Dodo Feathers - Randomly dropped by a dodo bird when it dies.

Trivia

Dodos are based on a real bird of the same name that was discovered on an island off of Africa and went extinct in the 17th century.
