I'm sorry. As an old-school gamer, I HATE birds. All birds. From all games. Why? Ninja Gaiden. 'Nuff said.

I don't think I have ever played a game were birds are a noticeable enemy

Duck Hunt, baby.

Really? I always aimed for the dog. That might have something to do with my shitty scores.

It's an easy mistake to make, don't worry about it. I think it was a fault on the developer's behalf really. They could have made the objective more clear.

I kind of like setting the seagulls on fire with my begoggled acrobat, the chicken is useful for my health.

If you know the game, and didn't play it before our behatted friend recommended it, you win.

And make the dog less offensive than to the point of frothing at the mouth in rage at its taunting. Mock the man with the gun, will you?

Wait, I know.

Cucckoos.

I laughed so hard when I first made them attack me. I was on Epona so I was invincible and about twenty chickens kept smothering me. Priceless, but you had to be there (or do it yourself).

It's an even more satisfying mistake when playing duck doom deluxe!

Crow, from the longest journey, in the beginning he annoyed me, but by the end he became a good companion, you should check that game out btw, if you haven't already

Actually I thought of 1, on my friends WoW account I strip down naked and kill lvl 1 critters by punching them, oddly satisfying I might add.

I laughed pretty hard when I discovered the Vice City stat "Seagulls sniped", considered it's not in the list until you actually snipe one - whereupon it goes clay pigeon. That's the only bird-related game episode I can remember particularly appreciating.

Unless you count Pecker from the Jak series, but he's half monkey. If so, he's my fav. "I am Pecker! Yes, yes, I know. My mother, she was...very vindictive."

it's called a fellbeast

It's not even called that. Except by the people who made the movies, and who didn't understand the dialogue in the book. Eowyn calls one "fell beast", two words, and it's a description, not a name. ("fell" has a now little used adjective form, which means "of an especially cruel or inhuman nature").

We're never told their names.

Red Chocobos from Final Fantasy Tactics. Unless they're fighting against me, then they're the greatest evil on the planet. Them and their Choco Meteor.

Uh...nope. You can kill those too.
Actually, I can remember some funny incidents where I left my jeep, came back after a few minutes, and there were some seagulls sitting on it. Some time later, in Hammer I think I noticed a Flag on the jeep that was something like "Auto_Spawn_Seagulls"

What else...yeah, I remember Crow from TLJ. Not much else comes to mind, though I too thought of Kazooie when I saw the thread title.

GOD DAMMIT did I want to break my PSP every time those things nuked my mages. No other random enemy I have encountered thus far has been such a pain as the red chocobo.

But yea, Chocobo is my favorite. Giant ostrich canary bird, whats there not to love.

Well Murry the Skull... You could argue that he is not a bird, but he does sit on top of a railing the middle of a swamp.

King Dedede! Sure he doesn't fly around (with his wings) but he's still a bird (and an extremely likeable one).

Idea for next thread: Most hated video game dogs (Hurray for Duck Hunt!)

Gotta be the owl from LoZ:OOT. Come on, his freakin head was spinning all the time and the music when you talked to him...or when he just talked, was amazing.

They are referred to in the books as "a fell beast from ancient times" or something like that. Thus we call them Fellbeasts.

It's just like how the first Nazgul was never called the Witch-King of Angmar in the books but he was a Witch, and a King who ruled Angmar.

There's also an official Tolkien encyclopedia (that predates the movies) written by Christopher Tolkien based on his fathers notes, it says those are what Tolkien called those entities.

Kazooie, from Banjo Kazooie. I mean come on, sparks fly whenever she speaks. Plus the "babababa" that spews from her mouth when the dialogue appears on screen is pretty funny.

Also, Kaepora Gabora is indeed, awesome.
