Compatibility: All Game Versions

Description: Part of the Tundra, Savannah and Highlands Peafowl Pack
Asian Shadow Peafowl aka Asian Shadowfowl

The proper name for this coloration is melonistic peafowl with the 'white-eyed' gene at work, however, few call it that. Panda, shadow, black, night, or leopard are but a few nicknames for it. Birds of this shade prefers to stick to the shade, hence their most commonly-known name, Shadowfowl. Some of these peafowl even go as far as coming out only at evening and at dusk.

This striking peafowl variation lives in the highlands side-by-side with the gentle giant panda, and even with Asian black bears. They need plenty of elevation, and will enjoy having a shelter in their exhibit, even though the do not require one.

NOTE: 100% compatible with the in-game Giant Panda, but will also happily share an exhibit with the Asian Black Bear.

Many thanks to Jens of ZTU for allowing us to recolor Willie T's original peafowl, and to Sundance for the descriptions and inspiration.
