Shoebills (Balaeniceps Rex) are majestic, pelican-like birds found in swamps. They are a modded bird in Alex's Mobs. These intimidating looking birds are actually surprisingly timid, and will take wing when attacked. They are often seen shaking their large, strange beaks. When left alone, Shoebills can often be seen fishing, catching their favorite food. Often times, Shoebills produce bycatch that are useless to them, but not to everyone. Shoebills can be fed Crocodile Eggs to increase the "lure" effect on their catches, and fed Blobfish to increase the "luck" of their catches. Shoebills are so naturally timid that they cannot be bred by people. Asides from fish, Shoebills will also attack baby Crocodiles and Turtles, which are also part of their diet. Despite being called the "Shoebill Stork" the birds are not actually storks, as they are a part of the Pelecaniformes family, making them closer related to pelicans, much like the Spoonbill, which is a fellow Pelecaniform.
