Much like [[chicken]], toms are easy to differentiate from the females. Besides their size, toms possess a more colorful plumage, as well as a recognizable fleshy appendage hanging from the head, which is known as a snood.
Turkeys are famous for their hostility and relentlessness. They are fiercely aggressive and territorial animals that has have evolved to understand the concept of doors, to the point that they became capable of jumping on door handles and opening them, differentiating from the smaller and more docile chicken. Combined with the fact that turkeys will attack anything they perceive as an enemy, and you get an animal that is more often hunted than it is raised. Turkeys are so aggressive, in fact, that they are not scared of any creature, no matter how big or dangerous; they will relentlessly peck at threats while making noisy gobbling noises. If the intruder hasn't fled, this usually results in a fight to the death.
Despite their hostility, turkeys can, in fact, be domesticated, with appropriate care and precautions. As such, some farms have chosen to keep and raise a population of turkeys, either in complement, or in replacement of the traditional chicken population. The biggest motivation for this choice is their ability to produce more meat and eggs on average than chicken. In fact, it is even possible to find [[Food|canned turkey]] for sale in the Mazes.
