Mort
"Baaaaawk? Bah-gawk? Bawk bawk bawk..."
— Mort the Chicken.
Mort the Chicken is the titular protagonist from the PlayStation game Mort the Chicken. He appears in Pizza Tower as a special guest character.
He first appears in Fun Farm and can be used as a transformation that can break Mort cubes.
Description
Mort is a chicken with white feathers, a long neck and a brown head with large, round eyes. His most defining feature is his comb, which is uniquely shaped and has a hand-like leaf-shaped part at the top. Mort can extend this comb to smack enemies, giving him a way to attack foes. Mort, like any other chicken, is mindless and doesn't really care too much about what goes on around him, often looking very bored and uninterested. However, despite this, he is surprisingly brave and is able to fend for himself even though most others of his kind wouldn't.
Trivia
- Pizza Tower Guy personally asked Mort's creator for permission to use Mort in Pizza Tower and they agreed, which is how Mort is in the game without any copyright issues.
- The fact that Mort spawns from a well may be a reference to the wells at the beginning of all of the levels in Mort the Chicken.
- The way that the Mort transformation ends may be a reference to how in Mort the Chicken, the health bar is represented by corn and how in the game there was corn lying around all the levels that Mort was able to eat to regain some health.
- Currently, the rooms with Mort are cut due Mort being reworked in future builds.
