Basically your giant dinosaur turkey looking monster bird that lives amongst the cane toads and banana farmers. Has a deadly claw on it that kills. Can be found in Papua New Guinea eating cannibals and other afro looking folks. Beware of mistaking it for an emu, a deadly mistake it could be.

Did you see Westy last night? He finally lost it and went full cassowary at Stirling for making fun of him. Only took ten years.
