Dishevelled Chicken is a Beast found in Goblin Camp in Act One. A pet for the Goblins, the frightened poultry is constantly being chased by Devout Mezzka or being forced to take part in Krolla's chicken chasing games.

Escape?! Escape!

— The chicken in a constant state of duress.

Act One

Many players may not even encounter the chicken, if they take their time exploring other parts of the Wilderness. If the Owlbear Nest is explored - regardless of whether the Owlbear is killed - and the Owlbear Cub remains alive, it will make its way to the Goblin Camp where it is captured by the goblins and eat the poor chicken, replacing it in the chicken chasing games.

If you have Speak with Animals, the chicken is too distressed to talk normally. However if you're playing the chicken chasing game, you can talk to it more openly:

• DC 20 Animal Handling check. Urge her to attack them. (This will lead to the chicken going into a mad rage and make the whole camp hostile to it, quickly killing it.)

• Speak with Animals DC 20 Persuasion check. Urge her to attack them. (This will lead to the chicken going into a mad rage and make the whole camp hostile to it, quickly killing it.)
• "What's wrong?" (The chicken just talks about its dire situation.)
• "I'll help. Just run through the posts and you'll be free." (This will make the cub run to the end of the course and quickly finish the game.)
• "Oh shut up and play." (Just makes the chicken more distressed.)

The chicken can also be killed without turning the goblins hostile, though you won't be able to play the game until the owlbear cub gets taken to the camp.
