Where did it come from? Where is it going? Why is it so loud?

These are some of the questions you’ll ask yourself when stumbling across the elusive Red-Billed Squawker. They were thought to have been hunted to extinction long ago–not because of their meat, though (to be frank, they taste a bit like old vinyl). No, the Red-Billed Squawker was hunted because it’s so damn annoying. Seriously, they won’t shut up. They squawk when you’re awake, they squawk when you’re asleep. They didn’t get their name from NOT squawking, that’s for sure.

So, why on earth would you WANT to transform into nature’s cruelest joke? Well, the Red-Billed Squawker’s mighty squawk can startle any enemy (as long as they’re not alert), and their high natural agility let’s them get in hits first. They even have the ability to double their agility for the current turn by raising the MP cost of their skills in case you need to get a hit off or interrupt a particularly nasty attack. A high-level Red-Billed Squawker gains a natural protection from sleep because, let’s face it, when you’ve got pipes that loud, you’re going to want to play them at all hours of the night.



On the field, the Red-Billed Squawker can make a quick dash forward, allowing him to jump over short gaps and travel through straight passages faster than normal walking. His brakes aren’t fully functional, though, so if you run into something, you might end up hitting it HARD–but that might be useful, too…
