The Duck, also known as a Jungle Bird,[1] are a species of wildlife in Horizon Forbidden West.
The ducks seen in the Horizon series appear to be male cinnamon teals, a species of duck that can be found in western America.
History
In the Old World
Duck zygotes were among the animals that were successfully collected before the Faro Plague eradicated the species and stored within ARTEMIS for later use in Project Zero Dawn.
In the New World
Despite not being among the animals listed by Charles Ronson as a pioneer organism,[2] ducks were released into the wilds, becoming common along bodies of water in the Forbidden West. Whether they are indeed pioneer organisms and were released under GAIA's orders or were released by ARTEMIS during its independence is unknown.
Behavior
Ducks are timid and quick to fly away upon detecting Aloy, never turning aggressive.
Loot
When looted, ducks will always have Rich Meat and/or Wild Meat, and will occasionally have a Duck Feather, a Duck Wishbone and/or a Jungle Bird Wing.
Other Loot
Trivia
- Despite being a bird, ducks cannot be looted for Bird Meat.
