Animal Species/Sky Island Saga

This page lists all animal species encountered in the Sky Island Saga.

South Bird


The South Birds (サウスバード) are strange looking birds that have a freak habit of always pointing their head south, no matter where they are (much to the amusement of Luffy). In fact they find it most uncomfortable to point in any other direction. As a result people use them as compasses since Log Poses do not work except to point to the next landmass and normal compasses do not work on the Grand Line. They have a loud call that can control bugs. They somewhat resemble real-life toucans.

North Bird, Eastern Bird, and Western Bird
The North Bird (ノースバード), Eastern Bird (イースタンバード), and Western Bird (ウエスタンバード) are counterparts of the south bird. Aside from the direction they point, they each differ in the markings on their beaks and the shape of the combs on their heads. The north bird have a heart-shaped comb. Oddly, the eastern and western bird's combs are shaped like a 'W' and an 'E' respectively. A south bird and a north bird have been shown to mate and produce both eastern and western birds as a result. The only eastern and western birds seen so far have been children. They first appeared on the cover of Chapter 644. Coincidentally, in Episode 150, there is a bird pointing east, but the episode aired before the reveal of the other directions birds.

Skypiea
There are many creatures around the Sky Islands; however, most are not named in neither the manga nor the anime.

Sky Fish
Sky Fish (空魚) are fish who live in Skypiea. They have evolved to become flat or inflated like a balloon so they would be light and could live in the clouds around Skypiea, and their scales are like feathers. Some of them grow very large. There are different species of Sky Fish. Some are rare and their capture is prohibited. Sky Fish appear in One Piece: Unlimited Cruise, in which they can be fished in the clouds.

Sky Dot Bird


The Sky Dot Bird (鳥) is a pink bird with polka-dots all over its body. The first and so far only one seen is Pierre, the one owned by Gan Fall.

Speedy Shrimp


Speedy Shrimp (特急エビ) are giant shrimps who takes ships stationed near Heaven's Gate into the sky islands of Skypiea.

Super-Express Speedy Shrimp


Super-Express Speedy Shrimps (超特急エビ) are gigantic shrimps twice the size than the average Speedy Shrimp. They take any ship with its crew on board to the northeast portion of Upper Yard so they can be sent to the Sacrificial Altar.

Cloud Fox


The Cloud Fox (雲ギツネ) is a small cute white fox creature found in Skypiea with a long snout. The first and so far only one seen is Su, the one owned by Conis.

Sky Lobster
Sky Lobsters (スカイロブスター) are lobsters that live in the Sea Clouds. They are a delicacy in Skypiea.

Giant Dog


A giant dog named Holy was under the ownership of Ohm. As Holy belonged to Ohm, it is unknown if he came from Upper Yard (where many surface animals reside) or Ohm's homeland of Birka.

Three-length Bird


The Three-length Birds (三丈鳥) are purple birds with white heads and orange necks. The first and so far only one to appear is Fuza, the one owned by Shura.

Sky Lamprey


Sky Lamprey (空ヤツメ) are giant lamprey that live in Upper Yard. Sanji managed to defeat one when it was about to eat him, Luffy and Usopp.

Sky Shark


The Sky Shark (空サメ) is a type of stranger looking flying shark that inhabits the areas around Upper Yard. They are vicious, attacking anything they can reach without hesitation and will even devour other sky sharks that have been wounded.

Cloud Wolf


Cloud Wolves (雲ウルフ) are wolves living in Upper Yard. A normal man would probably see the wolves as fearsome due to the fact that they are obviously predators in Skypiea. Gan Fall was surprised that they partied with Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates, saying that the cloud wolves have been tamed. As with numerous other animals in One Piece, these animals have the ability to walk on two legs.

Giant Snake


Giant Snakes are a species of snake that is native to Upper Yard of Skypiea and Jaya. They can grow to gigantic proportions and were worshipped by the Shandia as a God. It is assumed there are very few due to their large size. Nola is the only known living one. Its unnamed parent and its grandparent (Kashigami) were seen in flashbacks. No other individuals are shown.

Giant South Bird


Also found on Skypiea as well as on Jaya island, the south birds here, however, are much larger than those living in the Blue Sea and seemingly much friendlier.

Octopus Balloon


Octopus Balloon (タコバルーン) are octopi that live in the White Sea of Skypiea. They are a common animal in Skypiea and are also one of the most fragile. These animals can also be used as aerial transport, when they take in enough air they can become as light as a feather. One was used by the Straw Hat Pirates to take their ship down from Skypiea. Without being inflated they are only three feet tall. Apparently they can still move in the Blue Sea, unless they float back up to Skypiea.
