| rdfs:comment | - Their meat is a growing market in Metropolis Zone and certain ranchers, notably Rooster and Boss Krouch, rear them specifically to sell them in Metropolis. Boss Krouch was once the sole supplier of Apterix meat, until Rooster came along. They are particularly dangerous in a stampede because of their large size, and ranchers usually herd them from the air while riding pterodactyls.
- Apterix are enormous, flightless birds native to the Great Mobian Prairie, and their meat is a rapidly expanding market in Metropolis Zone. Somewhere between ostriches and penguins in appearance, they lack the intelligence of Mobius' more common residents, and are essentially treated and portrayed as livestock. This doesn't mean they should be taken lightly however: getting caught in an Apterix stampede could be the last thing you ever do, as proven by one Boss Krouch. It seems the safest way to keep a herd moving is to do it from above, as evidenced by the Backwater wranglers' usage of Pterodactyls.

| abstract | - Apterix are enormous, flightless birds native to the Great Mobian Prairie, and their meat is a rapidly expanding market in Metropolis Zone. Somewhere between ostriches and penguins in appearance, they lack the intelligence of Mobius' more common residents, and are essentially treated and portrayed as livestock. This doesn't mean they should be taken lightly however: getting caught in an Apterix stampede could be the last thing you ever do, as proven by one Boss Krouch. It seems the safest way to keep a herd moving is to do it from above, as evidenced by the Backwater wranglers' usage of Pterodactyls. Rooster and Krouch are both owned herds of Apterix. Krouch was unhappy with the competition and ordered Chito to murder Rooster in order to be the sole Apterix breeder.
- Their meat is a growing market in Metropolis Zone and certain ranchers, notably Rooster and Boss Krouch, rear them specifically to sell them in Metropolis. Boss Krouch was once the sole supplier of Apterix meat, until Rooster came along. They are particularly dangerous in a stampede because of their large size, and ranchers usually herd them from the air while riding pterodactyls. Boss Krouch was able to synthesize a chemical compound that imitated the scent of the Apterix's most feared predator, but a hundred times more potent. He planned to use the compound to cause a stampede that would crush his rival, Rooster, but his plan was thwarted by Knuckles the Echidna and the Sheriff of Backwater City. Krouch was killed when he accidentally dropped the vial of the compound, and was caught in the stampede himself.
