Peacocks are known in real life for their extravagant feathers with colorful patterns. Because of how ostentatious these feathers appear, these birds tend to be depicted in fiction as characters who are vain, prideful, or [[ItsAllAboutMe self-centered]]. While some of them may still be mostly kind characters who are just fond of attention, others can be straight-up villainous.
Please note that 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), [[AnimalGenderBender the big, colorful feathers associated with this trope are exclusive to male peacocks in real life.]]
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 SevenDeadlySins, i.e {{Pride}} (the other is [[KingOfBeasts the lion]]).

* [[https://youtu.be/Z5X2wPYrfJ8 This series of TV commercials]] for Froot Loops cereal features an antagonist known as Dr. Peacock, a MadScientist peacock who [[CardCarryingVillain openly proclaims that he's evil]]. He uses his special "Color Ray" to drain all the color from Toucan Sam and the Froot Loops cereal. It's unclear as to why exactly he does this, although he is shown to be very proud of his own colors, as he pathetically whimpers when the toucans turn the Color Ray on him. Subverted at the end of the series, when, [[spoiler:after getting his color back by eating Froot Loops, he makes a HeelFaceTurn and uses his Color Ray to give color to the world instead of taking it]].
