The name "willow grouse" is something of a folk term, with the more scientific term being "willow ptarmigan". Technically, it is a smaller relative to bigger species of grouses, and is in the grouse family as a whole. Another Finnish term for the bird is ''metsäkana'' (lit. "forest chicken").

URW Game Encyclopedia description

The official URW in-game encyclopedia (accessed by the F1 key) describes the willow grouse thusly:

Willow grouse are medium-sized game birds. Of all the forest game birds willow grouses are the least numerous, but nevertheless found all around UnReal World and commonly hunted for meat.

They nest on the ground in a dry spot by a tree trunk, beneath a small tree or bush on the edge of a marshy area. The eggs are laid in early summer.

Willow grouse can thrive in very diverse terrain, but primarily occupies sparse pine forests, mires and slopes of cliffs and fjells. They are accustomed to cold, harsh and rugged environment, but favour having birch and alder trees around their territory.

The legs of willow grouse are covered with feathers, except for their grey-coloured claws. They have varying seasonal plumages, with white wings in all of them. On cold nights they may dig burrows in the snow for shelter.
