The red chicken is a small, vividly colored bird encountered injured, with missing feathers and a bleeding wing. It nuzzles a corpse and chirps softly, a moment of gentleness amid harsh surroundings. Lift’s Stormlight heals its wounded wing, though the bird is otherwise not given a larger personal story.

Description

About a foot tall, the chicken has a vivid red body and head, set off by bright blue wings that turn red at the ends like flames. Its feathers are strikingly colorful, though a few are missing around an injured wing in its brief appearance. Small and soft-featured, it gives a gentle, curious impression, with a quiet chirp and a tendency to nuzzle.
