Karate Bird

Karate Bird is a recurring crew character present in the studio during some Off Book episodes, and serves as a metaphor for the generally zany nature of the podcast.
== Origin ==
In Limitless Visionless Vision Quest, Jess said she was surprised that some listeners use Off Book to fall asleep, given the type of content present in the podcast. She clarified this concern by inventing a theoretical plot point "Wow, a bird's here and he needs to do karate!", to illustrate a typical episode. Zach then introduced "Karate Bird" as a new character in the studio, which has been mentioned in many later episodes.
== Trivia ==
* Many Off Book fans have drawn renditions of Karate Bird, including Fache Desrochers, Craig Schmidt, and JC Comstock.
