Duck

Ducks are aquatic birds native to the Dragon Isles. They are perhaps the most mysterious creatures in the Isles, as no one knows where they come from or what they're planning. They are elusive and have erratic, difficult-to-track migratory patterns, leading some explorers to incorrectly believe that they didn't exist.

Ducks are tamable by hunters as part of the waterfowl family.
