But iOS 27 hides an easter egg from classic Mac OS: **Clarus the Dogcow**. iOS 27 adds a Liquid Glass intensity slider under Settings -> Appearance -> Liquid Glass, with a preview pane. Scroll to the bottom and pull up to reveal a photo of a Clarus the Dogcow figurine by the **Apple Park** pond. Rainbow text reading 'Moof!' appears in the example search field. Type 'Moof!' to Siri in Spotlight, and it replies "Nice dogcow." Clarus the Dogcow relates to an icon created by **Susan Kare** for the original Mac, as a glyph for the Cairo font. It has essentially no utility; it's just a bit of fun.
