In Race to the Edge

Tuffnut's Chicken seems to understand all that Tuffnut says. Tuffnut sometimes lifts it up and says "the chicken is not amused". Tuffnut appears to understand what the chicken is saying. In Edge of Disaster Part I, the chicken told Tuffnut that Ruffnut was in danger. When Tuffnut went to check, Ruffnut was kidnapped by the Dragon Hunters.

In Edge of Disaster Part II, the chicken participated in the battle against Ryker Grimborn and the Dragon Hunters. The chicken was seen attacking two hunters while Tuffnut went after Ryker. The Dragon Hunters retreated, and the chicken was later seen alongside Tuffnut.
