Cheekeen
From Dopeymon
Unlike many Dopémon, Cheekeen is not a direct spoof of Farfetch'd, its Pokémon equivalent. Its name is not based on Farfetch'd's (or any Pokémon's) name, and its attacks and behavior have nothing to do with the matching Pokémon.

Biology
Physiology
A Cheekeen looks almost exactly like a chicken, but with slightly cartoony features. Unlike most chickens, its wings double as arms and can be used for picking things up as well as performing martial arts moves such as Karate Chops.
Though they are capable of flight, they usually move by walking instead and save their wings for times when they need to go upward, such as flying up into a tree.
Special abilities
Cheekeens, unlike most birds, can use their wings as if they were arms, performing hand-based moves such as Poke and Karate Chop. For some unknown reason, many Cheekeens are fans of Dragonball Z, and they often try to imitate moves from that series, such as the Zanzoken technique.
Behavior
For the most part, a Cheekeen acts exactly like any other chicken. When threatened or challenged to a battle, however, they will suddenly stand upright and take on a fighting pose similar to those from video games and anime, such as Mortal Kombat or Dragonball Z. This unnecessary posing does not seem to enhance their effectiveness in battle at all, though it may unnerve opponents that are not used to it.
Cheekeens are also known for their loud voices. Contrary to popular belief, they never say anything resembling "cock-a-doodle-doo;" their most famous line actually is closer to "I've got a chicken cock!" and is usually (but not always) said by males. Other commonly-heard Cheekeen sayings include "Smoked potato!" and "I got a cock, ooh!"
Habitat
Cheekeens live in grassy areas, usually near trees. At night, they flutter upward into the trees to sleep in the high branches where most predators can't reach them.
Diet
The average Cheekeen usually eats seeds, nuts, fruit, and various small insects. They will eat Poopies if offered them by their trainer, but they generally avoid them in the wild.

Trivia
Origin
Cheekeen is based on a chicken, a type of ground bird that looks very similar to it. It is also somewhat of a spoof of the Pokémon Farfetch'd, which resembles a duck carrying a leek.
Name origin
Cheekeen is a corruption of the English word "chicken," the type of bird that it closely resembles. It is meant to be said in an exaggerated southern accent whenever possible, though pronouncing it in some other accent is not incorrect.
