Special Abilities
Crush (Ex): A flying or jumping fat chocobo can land on foes as a standard action, using its whole body to crush them. Crush attacks are effective only against opponents who are a size catagory smaller than the fat chocobo. A crush attack affects as many creatues that fit in a fat chocobo's space. Creatures in the affected area must succeed on a reflex save (DC equal to 10 + 1/2 HD + CON modifier) or be pinned, automatically taking bludgeoning damage during the next round unless the fat chocobo moves off them. If the fat chocobo chooses to maintain the pin, it must succeed at a combat maneuver check as normal. Pinned foes take damage from the crush each round if they don't escape.
Sudden Leap (Ex): A fat chocobo can make a jump as if it had a running start and gains a +8 racial bonus on acrobatic checks made to jump.
This was all put together last night, so I didn't really have time to add any flavor text to it. I tried to make each chocobo different rather than making the next one inherently better than the last.
And because I realize I didn't add it to the Gold Chocobo, basically the Gold Chocobo has the power to have all the other powers of the other chocobos (except the fat one)
Use breath of life for phoenix downs and go ahead and use heal for elixirs. I'd make soft potions act as stone to flesh though; they're supposed to remove petrification, after all. I'd also alter baleful polymorph so the only possible result is to turn someone into a frog with their full mental faculties. Hmm, what else:
Hmm, the elemental spells will be difficult too. Fire, Ice, Thunder (-a, -aga). You can use cure light/mod/ser for Cure/-a/-aga.
I did actually think of using breath of life...of course that was today at work. What would the price of a 5th level or 6th level potion be anyways?
The highlighted portion: I realized the other day there are no nice elemental spells below 3rd level, and no real cold spells either.
Fire - 1st level on
Electricity - 1st level (skips 2nd) on
Cold - while chill touch is a 1st level spell, nothing till 4th
Acid - 2nd level on
Sonic - uhh...
Any who. We need more cold and acid spells. Hopefully the APG fixes this.

check out the genius guide to ice magic, that could help.
For the fire, ice, thunder, bio, and so on you could just make scaling spells that deal like 1d6/so many levels and as they increase you just pretend they're -aga spells and whatnot.

quake - yes
meteor - yes
holy...hmmm maybe implosion or fire storm, except half divine
another element I'm introducing into my game is positive and negative energy don't exist in the FF world...
...So positive energy is now holy magic (works the same, just called different)
and negative energy is now gravity magic
So my friend and his wife just got to talking about this and may be starting a similar game and I just thought of something that might be of interest to you. You could use the Half-Orcs racial abilities but take away their weapon proficiencies and replace them with a bite and/or claw and use them as the race of dog things that Red XIII was.
EDIT: I suppose a Winter Wolf/Worg would work for this as well.
