Chickuna



The Chickuna is an animal that appeared in the Dawn of the Croods. They are a common food source among cave people and rarely are scaled up by natural means creating the super-predator 'Big Chickuna'.

Etymology
They are a mixture of chicken and tuna, which may be a play on the phrase of tuna being "the chicken of the sea". Their name is mentioned during Flowers for Munk

Trivia

 * The Chickuna also resembles the plimpy, a kind of bipedal, 2 legged fish from Harry Potter, and maybe the possible concept for the franchise in the DreamWorks Animation adaption.
