Peacocks are known in real life for their extravagant display of feathers with brilliant iridescent colors and elegant patterns. Because of how ostentatious these feathers appear, these birds tend to be depicted in fiction as characters who are vain, prideful, or self-centered. While some of them may still be mostly kind characters who are just fond of attention, others can be straight-up villainous. The long, colored feathers are not the peacock's tail. Rather, it's called a "train", and the feathers are actually attached to the peacock's back. The peacock's real tail feathers are short and brown, and can be found under the train. Also note that, while some examples involve female characters (i.e. peahens), the big, colorful feathers associated with this trope are exclusive to male peacocks in RealLife. This trope is the origin of the old saying "proud as a peacock," as well as the fact that a group of peacocks is called an "ostentation." The peacock is also one of animal symbols of the Seven Deadly Sins, i.e Pride (the other is the lion). The term can also be used as a verbal: "He peacocked his way down the aisle in a $10,000 Versace suit." Subtrope of Animal Stereotypes. May overlap with Peacock Girl. Compare Cocky Rooster for another bird that is commonly depicted as arrogant. Not to be confused with Agent Peacock, though that trope's name does come from the stereotypical association between peacocks and vanity. |

Walt Disney Presents: In the first episode of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, Ludwig von Drake sings "The Spectrum Song" while playing a piano keyboard that shoots out rays of color. At one point, these rays form into a peacock, who walks in front of von Drake so that the audience can only see him and his colorful train. Von Drake is not amused and tells the peacock off, and the peacock walks away indignantly. | |

Kung Fu Panda 2: Lord Shen, the Big Bad, is a peacock whose ego leads him to attempt to take over China and commit genocide against the pandas. Being a villainous example, his feathers are mostly white with red eyespots on his train rather than colorful, giving him a more eerie appearance than most other peacocks. At one point, Shen declares it "Year of the Peacock" effective immediately. His lackey, Boss Wolf, points out that it's the middle of the year. Shen simply glares at Boss Wolf, and Boss Wolf quickly agrees that it's the Year of the Peacock. | |

Pathfinder: Xanderghul, the Runelord of Pride and one of the most arrogant men to ever live, is strongly associated with peacocks. He's usually shown wearing peacock-patterned robes, and during his reign was a significant patron of the cult of the Peacock Spirit, a deity associated with personal excellence and pursuing one's personal success. Unknown to the cultists, Xanderghul was himself the Peacock Spirit and established the cult mostly as a way to play on people's bruised feelings of pride in order to siphon power from them. The cult is also allied with peacock-like phoenixes from the Plane of Fire. | |

Shovel Knight: The Ticketer and Cultured Fellows in the Hall of Champions are anthropomorphic peacocks. Some of them talk to Shovel Knight rather rudely by calling him a peasant, and the ticketer demands an enormous amount of money to allow him inside. Another peacock in the Armor Outpost brags about his riches and then proceeds to ask for a large amount of money just so he can buy a hat, as he forgot his wallet. |

Skullgirls: Peacock was once little more than a war orphan who was horribly mutilated by slavers who worked for the Medici clan, before being rescued and outfitted with reality-bending powers by the Anti-Skullgirl Labs as part of the project she was named after. While she exhibits Troubling Unchildlike Behavior as a result of her experiences, she also tends to brag about her abilities. In her story mode, she refuses to use the Skull Heart because she's strong enough without it. | |
