And in the same way that the mythological traits of dragons or unicorns vary from kingdom to kingdom in Europe, the different legends from different indigenous peoples afforded the thunderbird a wide variety of traits and abilities depending on that legend\u2019s individual source. Whether the thunderbird was a force of nature, bringing storms, wind and rain; a shapeshifter, looking to blend in among the humans; or a spiritual guardian, protecting humanity from the dark creatures of the underworld depends highly on whom you\u2019re hearing the story from. While the thunderbird shows up in folk tales from all across North America, it\u2019s particularly associated with the Algonquian tribe of north-eastern Canada and the United States as well as a number of different cultures in the Pacific Northwest, where the thunderbird is commonly carved into tall totem poles.<\/p>\n<p>Thunderbirds are a little bit off the beaten path for mythological creatures. Ghosts? Vampires? Zombies? These are kinds of creatures that jump to the front of your mind when we start talking about the kind of magical world the Darkside Detective takes place in. And true to form, <em>The Darkside Detective<\/em> has featured protesting ghosts, emotionally drained vampires and gangster zombies in the cases of the first two games. Creatures so common you\u2019ll immediately recognize them (and the specific riffs on them that we do in our games for comedy.)<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/what-is-the-thunderbird-and-why-is-the-darkside-detective-centering-a-case-on-it-1.jpg\" alt=\"screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-165540\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>The thunderbirds, on the other hand, are a little less common, which makes them a unique subject for a Darkside Detective case. Outside of their presence in the folklore of indigenous tribes of North America, the thunderbird has popped up here and there in different pieces of popular culture. The recent film <em>Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, <\/em>for instance, features a thunderbird being released to its native habitat of Arizona. The legendary bird, Zapdos, in the first generation of <em>Pokemon<\/em> games was also inspired by the thunderbird. Thunderbird is the codename for the first indigenous <em>X-men<\/em> character introduced alongside fan favorites (like Storm, Wolverine and Colossus.)<\/p>\n<p>Without going into too many details for the case itself, since I promised myself I wouldn\u2019t spoil this for any of you, the thunderbird\u2019s size and power make it perfect for the Darkside Detective games. If the beating heart of the Darkside Detective is the bromance between Dooley and McQueen, then the arteries and blood vessels of this metaphorical circulatory system are the inherent comedy of fantastical creatures popping up in mundane places. Watching a completely normal security guard report on a massive thunderbird nesting on the roof of a building is precisely the right sort of humor that makes Darkside the kind of game that we all want to spend an hour hanging out with.<\/p>\n<p>If any of the above really tickles your fancy, then feel free to download the new <em>Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark <\/em>case \u201cOne Flew Into the Cuckoo\u2019s Nest\u201d today, available now on Xbox.<\/p>\n<div id=\"msp1650392148709\" class=\"\">\n<div class=\"ms-product-badge mspb-large\" data-product-id=\"9P0V3BLGW7NX?msclkid=8f283dc0c00c11ecab47e59801f09dac\">\n<div class=\"mspb-primary-image\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/store\/apps\/9P0V3BLGW7NX?msclkid=8f283dc0c00c11ecab47e59801f09dac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/store-images.s-microsoft.com\/image\/apps.61096.14519852149850431.783357c0-fa44-4411-ba93-d6bfbc3b6e14.a229bbb7-4492-4ff0-99fa-9aca34050b1e?w=400&#038;h=600\" alt=\"The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark\" class=\"skip-lazy\" \/> <\/a> <\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-details\">\n<div class=\"mspb-feature-badges\">\n<div class=\"mspb-feature-badge xbox-live\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/what-is-the-thunderbird-and-why-is-the-darkside-detective-centering-a-case-on-it.png\" alt=\"Xbox Live\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-feature-badge xbox-play-anywhere\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/what-is-the-thunderbird-and-why-is-the-darkside-detective-centering-a-case-on-it-1.png\" alt=\"Xbox Play Anywhere\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mspb-secondary-details\">\n<div class=\"mspb-left-container\">\n<p>Akupara Games<\/p>\n<div class=\"mspb-rating\">\n<div> <span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span> <span class=\"mspb-total-ratings\">6<\/span> <\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-full-stars\" style=\"width: 64.5px\"> <span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-price\"> <span>$12.99<\/span> <\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-buttons\"> <a class=\"mspb-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/store\/apps\/9P0V3BLGW7NX?msclkid=8f283dc0c00c11ecab47e59801f09dac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get it now<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-bottom-badges\"> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-right-container\">\n<div class=\"mspb-description\"> &quot;Twin Lakes is a cursed city.
