🧬 Bright plumage, elusive, iridescent feathers

⚠️ Danger: 1

Unlike the known Congo peacock, the cryptid referred to as African Peacocks is often said to be larger, more vibrantly colored, and capable of producing hypnotic displays. Indigenous stories speak of these birds as forest guardians, their feathers believed to hold spiritual significance. While zoologists have cataloged similar birds, witnesses claim this version remains uncategorized, with sightings only by torchlight or full moon. Some consider them a forgotten royal species displaced by deforestation. Efforts to photograph or capture specimens have failed. Cryptozoologists are divided between myth and misidentification. The mystery remains unresolved.
