Notes 

• One of the two battlefield mounts used by halflings. While halfling scouts use riding hounds for their speed, stealth, and more slender forms that are able to negotiate rough terrain, halfling calvary and knights tend to pick the sturdier Warchickens.
• Warchickens like to rush, knocking down prey with their talons and often follow up with a pecking strike that can dint plate mail with a solid strike.
• The Order of the Scarlet Cockerel, sometimes known as the 'Order of the Cock' is a halfling knightly order that is famous for using the warchicken as their mount. Their sister order includes the 'Order of the Owlbear' which are used by gnomes and the 'Order of the Black Hound' which is a fellow halfling knight order famous for their use in riding mastiffs.
