The Intrepid Turkey Scout is a scouting Turkey unit that is unique and exclusive to the map Plymouth, in Age of Empires III: The WarChiefs. The Turkey looks exactly the same as a its huntable counterpart except it cannot be hunted, the only way for it to be killed is by enemy units. It cannot attack.
Once killed by enemy units, the Turkey transforms into a plate of roast turkey called the Delicious Feast containing 100 food that the enemy can gather.
History[]
| “ | Scientific Name: Meleagris gallopavo Approx. Size: 30 in. tall, 20 lb. Diet: Seeds, roots, berries, nuts, insects, small vertebrates Wild turkeys range throughout North America, chiefly in the east. They have dark bodies with light-tipped feathers, banded wing feathers, and a bluish head. Males have a bright red wattle under their beaks and a dramatic fanning tail. They are competent fliers, but are more likely to flee danger on foot at speeds of up to 25 mph. Solitary during mating season, females build nests on the ground, at the foot of trees, or in the shelter of a bush or tall grass where she lays about a dozen eggs. Turkeys are known for the "gobbling" sounds made by males. They are the centerpiece of modern Thanksgiving meals, though the Pilgrims had a variety of game at their first Thanksgiving feast. Benjamin Franklin disapproved of the Bald Eagle as the national bird, considering it craven and cowardly. The turkey was a much more noble and worthy bird in his opinion. Coyotes and foxes are the chief predators of adult turkeys. Turkeys and their eggs and young fall victim to a wide variety of small predators. |
