Surefooted Stride (Ex)
Purple chocobos may move through any sort of difficult terrain (such as thorns, overgrown areas, rubble and the like) at its normal speed without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Areas that have been magically manipulated, however, still effect it.

Water Walking (Ex)
Purple chocobos have the ability to walk on water while running. A purple chocobo that is running, can walk on water as if it was a solid surface. If it ever stops running, it loses its ability, although it can resume this ability anytime.
