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.^[1] They are elusive and have erratic, difficult-to-track migratory patterns, leading some explorers to incorrectly believe that they didn't exist.^[2]

As a hunter pet[]

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

Notes and trivia[]

• Their design is a cross between the male mallard and the male wood duck, combined with elements of ratites similar to the tallstrider. Their head feathers are designed to flow in a way that looks similar to dragon horns.^[3]
• Despite the in-universe presence of duck-shaped toys^[4][5] and decoys^[6] and the expression "sitting ducks",^[7][8][9] the birds themselves were completely absent from World of Warcraft for most of the game's history. This became the source of a running gag, with both players and Blizzard poking fun at the non-existence of ducks.
• Dwukk, an orc in Razor Hill, alludes to the existence of waterfowl in his dialogue and warns players not to make fun of him for having a name that sounds like "duck".
• Rona Greenteeth on Darkmoon Island sells  [Forsaken Foie Gras] and claims that there are both ducks and geese in Tirisfal Glades, but it's strongly implied that the foie gras is actually made of Forsaken flesh.
