Swinehoe

* Swinehoe
* Golden Pheasant

* Fly (from Hills)

"*UPGRADED to Swinehoe/Golden Pheasant!
Hold W to fly around.*"
The **Swinehoe** is a tier 5 Forest animal in Mope.io, equivalent to the Deer, Squid, Flamingo, Reindeer, and Gazelle. It was released on December 20, 2022.

## Technical

* Upgrades from the Pig, Woodpecker, Sea-horse, Armadillo or Seal at 2K XP.
* Upgrades to the Fox, Arctic Fox, Jellyfish, Hedgehog, Peacock or Fennec Fox at 5K XP.
* The Swinehoe has two abilities:
	+ By holding `W` or right click on the ground/water, the Swinehoe will extend its head and move forwards at a gradually accelerated pace. The Swinehoe has reduced turning during this time. The physics work very similarly to the Turkey's Charge, except the Swinehoe does not kick at all and does not obtain as much speed. The ability lasts for 5 seconds, and stops immediately if W is released early. The Swinehoe cannot climb hills while the ability is being used. It has a cooldown of 10 seconds.
	+ Holding `W` or right click from a hill causes the Swinehoe to fly slowly for a maximum of 5 seconds, or until W is released.
* Can climb hills.
* Can eat Honeycomb, Berries, Plankton, Dates, Cactus Pears, Mushrooms, Carrots, Raspberry, Lilypads, Mangos, and all animals below it from Pig to Mouse.
* Can be eaten by all animals within Fox and Hippo tiers.

### Golden Pheasant

* All of the above.
* Has a 10/100 chance of appearing instead of the Swinehoe(10%).
* It has 3 more hp than the Swinehoe.

## Appearance

### Swinehoe

The Swinehoe is a brilliant blue bird. It has a broad pinkish beak tipped and black and red wattles around its eyes. A periwinkle tuft of feathers sits on its head and has a broad stripe the same color stops just before its wing tips. The Swinehoe has two wings whose wingtips are darker blue. Its tail has 7 long feathers in a rough fan shape, the centermost being periwinkle also.

While running, the Swinehoe's wings go off to the side and its head rears forward, giving more attention to the tail feathers. It flaps its wings in flight.

### Golden Pheasant

The Golden Pheasant is a largely yellow orange bird with red wings ending in livid tips. It has tan under its eyes and a dark yellow beak. Black zigzags are visible just behind its head, where there is also a patch of light green feathers. Its tail feathers are pale orange with the exception of the outermost which are pale red.

## Strategy

### As a Swinehoe

* The player should use their charge ability to run from predators and catch up to prey.
	+ Unlike most charges in the game, it is cancelable, so the player can run as long as they like or until it stops automatically. The charge accelerates over time, so it's probably best to charge all the way for maximum distance. It's slow in general nonetheless: Other charging animals will easily catch up to the player.
	+ Charging makes it difficult to turn tightly. The player should not charge to do turns.
* Raspberries are effective to farm. If the player feels a little risky, they can also benefit off of Mangos in the Desert. They should stay close to the Land/Forest border in case trouble occurs because the Swinehoe is affected by debuff.
* Despite being a Forest animal, the Swinehoe cannot climb trees. This gives it a big disadvantage against other Forest animals and predators since they can use trees to quickly gain ground. To counter this disadvantage, it's recommended for the Swinehoe player to roam the Land biome instead.
* The Swinehoe flies slower than most flying animals. However, the flying ability compliments its hill-climbing ability by allowing it to fly away from threats who already can't climb hills. In most situations though, it's better to charge for a quick getaway.

## History

 December 20, 2022 | * Swinehoe () added. Its designated rare, the Golden Pheasant () was accidentally not enabled so it is unobtainable, although its assets exist and is visible in the Changelog.

## Trivia

* The Swinehoe and Golden Pheasant are both based on real species of pheasant, being the Swinhoe's pheasant and Golden pheasant respectively.
	+ Because only male Swinhoe's pheasants are blue and male Golden pheasants are yellow, both Swinehoes and Golden Pheasants in Mope.io are male.
* Its upgrade message is currently a copyover of the Pigeon's. It can only fly from hills, not in general.
* The Golden Pheasant art was made by Feesh in 2020 according to KOA.
* The Golden Pheasant, for two days from its release, was accidentally made unobtainable because it was not enabled as a rare of the Swinehoe.
