Template:Infobox vehicles

For the controllable aircraft, see Dodo. For the character in GTA 2, see Dodo (GTA 2).

The DeadDodo is an uncontrollable, full-winged NPC Dodo that flies high over the city in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

Description

The Dead Dodo is essentially an unobtainable version of the regular Dodo. It has a slightly darker skin texture in contrast to its controllable counterpart, along with flashing white and red strobe lights. Its main propeller is static and only produces a plane sound when near it.

The plane is practically unsolid, so if the player somehow manages to reach its set height, they will just phase right through it, although it's only solid to weapons and, like any vehicle, it can be set on fire.

In GTA: Vice City, it can be seen with a banner attached to the tail. The banner differs in the PS2 version and the Xbox and PC versions. In the PS2 version, the banner will have the generic newspaper with the SWAT team headline, while in the other two the Zombie Elvis Found! paper can be seen.

Shooting the plane down will result in a wanted level (Three stars in Grand Theft Auto III and two stars in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City), but will escalate into a higher wanted level upon explosion (Four stars in GTA III and three stars in GTA: VC).
