Camilla

In Roman folklore, Queen Camilla of the Volsci was the daughter of King Metabus.

She helped her ally, King Turnus of the Rutuli fight Aeneas over Prince Pavinia.

Virgil claimed she was so fast she could run across the sea with getting her feet wet and run across a field of corn without bending any of the plants.

Virgil Aeneid VII, 809


Camilla is also the chicken that is Gonzo's love interest on The Muppet Show.
