All they do is stand around minding their own business until getting unceremoniously stampeded by the worldвЂ™s worst dragon. TheyвЂ™re fodder, designed to be sprinted through or roasted. All-around decent chicken, albeit kind of annoying. These chickens are visually perfect, and their realistically aggressive personalities match up well with their IRL counterparts. Unfortunately, if they get their friends involved, your odds of surviving the encounter are a little slimmer. Fortunately, these chickens are a little closer to real-life chickens, in that youвЂ™re not likely to be pecked to death by one of them. Speaking of chickens that will attack you for no reason-the chickens in AssassinвЂ™s Creed: Odyssey will attack you for no reason. These chickens do perfectly resemble real chickens, though, so I still love them, even when IвЂ™m extremely mad at them. We should be grateful that the chickens we encounter in the real world arenвЂ™t as powerful as they are angry- Sekiro showed us what that looks like, and it isnвЂ™t pretty. Though they look exactly like IRL chickens, these feathered foes hit harder than the average soldier and absolutely do not need a reason to attack.

SekiroвЂ™s chickens are another example of chicken-as-enemy. If the Lambent Chicken appears, it means youвЂ™re getting what you deserve. There are multiple ways to summon this fearsome fowl, and all of them involve murdering innocent chickens. It is a 10-foot-tall golden chicken with a powerful flame breath, bent on the destruction of those who have wronged it (i.e., you). Gears of War 3вЂ™s Lambent Chicken easter egg is a punishment from God. What the hell is this? What the hell is this? 10. Real chickens would never wear wide-leg trousers, as it would make them look squat. Blaziken is six feet tall and wears fashionable wide-leg trousers. Unfortunately, things go downhill at level 36, when Combusken evolves into Blaziken. Its feet are exactly the same as chicken feet, and the rage in its eyes is a familiar sight to any chicken connoisseur. (Its official bio notes that the fireballs can be up to 1,800 вЏ, which seems like too much if you ask me.) Torchic can evolve into Combusken at level 16, which also has decent chicken similarities. Torchic looks very similar to a cute little baby chicken, and, just like a real baby chicken, can shoot fireballs at its enemies. Torchic is technically not a chicken (as it is a PokГ©mon), but somehow is still more of a chicken than those Animal Crossing pretenders could ever hope to be. They donвЂ™t do anything particularly chicken-y, they donвЂ™t lay eggs, and they take up precious space on your island that you would much rather fill with cuter villagers. Animal Crossing chickens are barely chickens.

So letвЂ™s look at which chickens are at the top of the pecking order (and which ones can go straight to chicken hell for all I care). Like extras in a movie, they fill a scene, grounding you in reality, and telling you that, no matter how weird this world gets, at least itвЂ™s not so weird that chickens donвЂ™t exist. For me, games lack that necessary je ne sais quoi if they donвЂ™t have one key component: chickens.Д¬hickens are the unsung heroes of video games. Why do you play video games? Is it because of the interesting characters? The thrilling action? The immersive storylines? ThatвЂ™s all well and good-but I always look for something more.
