 **Centipede, Vermilion**: A giant arthropod found in the [[Northwall Mountains]].  These fierce carnivores have body segments a yard across, and are relentless hunters.  Fortunately, they do not function well at night or in the winter, and lurk in their caves during those times.  Extermination hunts are one of the few causes that bring the people of Yamato and the Dwarven Halls together.
+**Chimera, Crafted**: The general term "chimera" refers to a creature made up of the body parts of multiple animals.  Gryphons, Nues, and Lamias all technically fall in this category.  //Crafted// chimerae have been assembled by mages or alchemists of, well, dubious ethics (and sanity, frequently).  Imagination and perseverance are the only limitations to what can be stitched together into a one-of-a-kind rampaging abomination of destruction!
 **Chirra**: Northern relatives of camels and llamas, frequently raised for their wool as well as their winter mobility.  They are remarkably good natured: their early ancestors realized people made fires, and fire means
 not freezing.  Do not do well in warmer climates.
-**Chocobo**: Auroch-like flightless birds, but with heads large enough to put a few brain cells in.  As versatile as horses, but too small for anything but light cavalry.  Omnivorous if desperate: their preferred foods are root crops, gourds, and squashes, with an overwhelming passion for cucumbers.
+**Chocobo**: Auroch-like flightless birds, but with heads large enough to put a few brain cells in.  As versatile as horses, but too small for anything but light cavalry.  Omnivorous if desperate: their preferred foods are root crops, gourds, and squashes, with an overwhelming passion for cucumbers.  There are exotic, empowered breeds of chocobo, including:
+  *Blue: Blue chocobos possess the ability to run on water.  There appears to be a direct correlation between how dark a hue they have, and the depth of water they can cross.
+  *Golden: Metallic hued chocobos with the capabilities of Blue, Green, and Red.
+  *Green: Green chocobos can run across the forest canopy, or any other vegetation without crushing it.
+  *Red: Red chocobos are able to traverse any difficult terrain, up to and including vertical cliffs.
+  *Silver: Metallic hued chocobos with the ability to physically travel to and from the Spirtitplane, and through it to the Other Realms.
 **Chocotrice**: when a male chocobo is impregnated by a duner (please, stop intermixing your livestock in breeding season!), you get an untamable black chocobo whose gaze, if you meet it, will transform you into your weight in cucumbers.  Other chocobos are immune, and routinely accept chocotrices as flock leaders.
 **Cobra-Duck**: a chimerical waterfowl with the body of a large goose, and the neck and head of a cobra.  Venomous, migratory, and mean.  Yes, it's a //canard// with canards.
+**Cobraphant**: a two-ton venomous {{:cobraphant_by_aaron_radney.jpg?linkonly |serpent}} with the head of an elephant.  One of the Jungle god's favorite creations: they decorate many of his temples, and he had a tendency to drop them on anyone who annoyed him.  Sometimes several.
 **Cockatrice**: similar genesis to a basilisk, though you probably need to start with poisonous toads or frogs.  Resembles a diseased chicken the size of a wild turkey.  Venomous, poisonous, waste products are toxic, shed feathers are toxic, and it is probably bad to __breathe__ around one.  No known reputable use.
