Dodos are overpowered and here is why.

Most of the early game takes need dodo kiblle such as teradactal,monkey,etc.

They can be bred larger or smaller (only in mobile)they can unlock 9 new abilities when they are breed larger

And the can actually as our shoulder pets if you make the small enough by breeding but it takes a long time not all dodos are the same size the have a scale that say how big they are.
