Hybrid Battle
Dooose
A hybrid of Dodo + Goose
The Dooose (Raphus anserinus) is a large, flightless bird that combines the stout body and rounded shape of a dodo with the long neck and webbed feet of a goose. Its plumage is a patchwork of muted grays and browns, interspersed with striking white and black patterns around the head and wings. The Dooose has a stout, curved beak adapted for foraging, and its large, webbed feet make it an adept swimmer despite its terrestrial nature.
