Moapua'a

The feisty Moapua'a, the unofficial mascot of the Niküan people, is an absurd-looking yardbird with the body of an oversized barnyard fowl and the head of a newborn pig. Legend has it that these stubborn, wily, flightless creatures inspired an early relative of the Truffle Trotter to escape its captivity in an Aelan slaughterhouse, only to ride a raft of flotsam out to sea.
