== Appearance ==
The  is a quadrupedal white-masked creature with a symbol on its mask that resembles an eye. Where its tail should be, a mane and plumes appear, its body is covered in feathers and fur. It has two feathers on the base of its rear legs beneath its plumes and three feathers that resemble antennae on the back of its head. On the sides of its torso, it possesses holes that resemble gills.

=== Females ===
Females possess four additional, longer tail feathers with diamond-like/eye-like patterns on the ends of each feather, similar to that of male peafowl.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The is a carnivore with an acceptable level of appetite and ambush, which, combined with its high run speed, considerable stamina, and decent stamina regeneration, enable this creature to run for miles in search of food and water (and even go fishing while not quickly drowning to death, due to the HP regeneration), and is thus not restricted to spawn points for food. If it finds a small enough carcass, the can eat on the run without getting stuck in the eating animation, thus eliminating a vulnerability. Its reduced size may lessen the chance of being hit with breaths or bites.
The bleed can nullify other creatures' HP regeneration (provided they are not immune to melee bleed), giving an advantage over creatures with a high HP regeneration, and weakening low-HP creatures faster.
It has one of the best night vision stats (which also means Night Stalker will affect it the most, but still can triangulate where the Night Stalker creature is via its AOE).
Lastly, the 's invisibility makes it less noticeable when running from an attacker, especially if it conceals its scent or if the attacker is not very cautious and rarely scents, very advantageous for fleeing an angry predator or ambushing.
=== Cons ===
Like most tier 2 creatures, the has low HP, so some creatures with high damage output can one-shot it. Moreover, this creature's advantage of being small is also a disadvantage when transporting carcasses, as it is only able to carry Tier 1 meat and on rare occasions tier 2 Mystery meat. so only Tier 1 playable creatures, fish NPC meat, and rarely Mystery meat, can be transported.
From its bleed stems part of its strength, so those immune to the status effect gain an advantage over .
