Overview
The Murder Turkey is a small event creature that does not eat, known for its aggressive behavior.

This makes it highly susceptible to certain environmental hazards and specific creature attacks. It can be immobilized by Bear Traps, Large Bear Traps, or Plant Species Y, allowing for capture or taming attempts. Its compact size allows it to be carried by larger creatures for transport.
It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.
