Chocobos are creatures of travel. They are made for moving great distances in small amounts of time. For this reason, chocobos are domesticated, bred, raced, and trained for war. Chocobos are treated as normal mounts for all purposes of riding and pulling and for the effects, benefits, and purposes of the handle animal and ride skills. As such, chocobos can be purchased as mounts and used as a paladin's special mount.
