Mort

"Baaaaawk? Bah-gawk? Bawk bawk bawk..."
— Mort the Chicken.

Mort the Chicken is the titular protagonist from the PlayStation game Mort the Chicken. (2000) 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 defeat Electric Potatoes and smack Mort Hooks, giving an extra jump boost.

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 ball this comb into a fist to punch 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 allowed him, 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.
• Originally, Mort was also going to be the boss of World 2, controlling a U.F.O. This was scrapped, however, when PTG changed his mind on the boss lineup.
• Mort, despite being collected during The Crumbling Tower Of Pizza, does not show up in the ending. The same goes for Snotty, even if he is left alive.
