The Cult of the Dodo

Dodos may not be the most majestic creatures in Eorzea, but they have certainly waddled their way into our hearts! Whether as adorable minions, quirky mounts, or charming décor, these flightless birds have made their mark across Hydaelyn. There is an infamous rivalry between the Cult of the Dodo in our FC and the FC Monarch. The Cult members will take every opportunity to taunt her with their love of the Dodo. If you would like to join the cult, just acquire a Dodo minion from the vendor or DM Maeve or Wispen and they will gladly hand one over.

Let’s take a look at all the ways you can bring a little dodo delight into your adventures.

Dodo Minion: Dodo Hatchling

The Dodo Hatchling is a tiny, fluffy companion that proves dodos can be cute (despite their reputation for being snacks to the hungry masses of Eorzea). This minion is acquired through retainer ventures, making it a fun surprise for those who send their trusty retainers out into the world. With its wobbly walk and curious nature, the Dodo Hatchling is a must-have for any bird-loving adventurer.

The Fat Dodo mount is obtainable through Heaven-on-High Platinum Sacks, making it a rare and coveted prize among collectors.
