Peacock

Ps. Not my foot obviously.
But a nice example of how i want the tail

The Peacock is known as 'the bird of 100 eyes', due to the patterning in its tail feathers. The 'eyes' became a favourite mythic metaphor as all-seeing witnesses to hidden transgressions. The concept found its way into religious belief as the symbol of beatific vision.

The peacock naturally replaces his feathers annually; as such, the peacock is also a symbol of renewal.

Early belief held that the Gates of Paradise are guarded by a pair of peacocks.

The peacock has the ability to eat poisonous snakes without harm

Great beauty they possess
