**Chickensaurs** is a mod adding the Nether-dwelling descendants of the chicken to Minecraft. Due to fierce competition from piglins and hoglins in the Crimson Forest, the chickens were forced to carve a niche for themselves in an unlikely biome: *the Soul Sand Valley*.<\/p>\n

– Chickensaurs hunt skeletons in packs, using their serrated beaks to decapitate them. Crafty players can use this to their advantage to source skeleton skulls.
\n– Due to the high iron content of their diet, chickensaurs have beaks and feathers coated in iron, the excess of which can be gathered with a brush.
\n– When approached by a player or a piglin, chickensaurs will attempt to scare them off by expelling soulfire from their comb. They will attack if the intruder gets too close.
\n– Chickensaurs can be tamed (if it’s a baby), healed and bred with bones. A tamed chickensaur is given a dyeable leg band, and can be saddled & ridden! Tamed chickensaurs will also fight alongside their owner.<\/p>\n
