[p]Thanksgiving Banquet
Place six different Thanksgiving dishes on the Thanksgiving Dining Table, and then press E to enjoy the treat and be rewarded with the Thanksgiving Buff. Placing Roasted Turkey right at the center of the Thanksgiving Dining Table will bring something special to Explorers.

Pardoned Turkey Event
In the Noviceland biome, Explorers may find wild Turkeys locked in cages. Players will need to break the cage to free the Turkeys. Once they are freed, Turkeys will drop Turkey eggs that provide rewards.
While freeing the caged Turkeys, explorers have a 30% chance of running into special Pardoned Turkey. Killing the Pardoned Turkey will drop the event item “Turkey Feather,” which can be used to summon Dodorex.
Turkey Challenge - Summoning Dodorex
• Upon collecting a certain amount of Turkey Feathers, explorers can use them to summon either a Dodorex (20 mins at 90% chance) or a Dodorex (Permanent at 10% chance) at a cooking pot.

Dodorex
In the world of Pixark, even the weakest and humblest beings have dreams of becoming something stronger. And the Dodo, who is bullied by everyone, may become an existence to be feared by everyone. Legend has it that some dodos with exceptional talent were blessed by the ancestors of the dodo family and evolved into the most powerful Dodorex. Of course the legend is just a legend, in fact, people believe that Dodorex may be the descendants of Tyrannosaurus rex genetically modified by aliens. The biggest basis for this idea is that people have not yet found evidence of the existence of wild Dodorex.
• Tamed Dodorex can bite (LMB) and shoot flames (RMB)
