I am making one character race based upon, well, you all know, RQ, and i have no idea besides one quirk table and swimming speed like the triton, a Small size and Abilities modifier; but not more. I can imagin a background, but I need ideas for more traits.
What do you think that would be a nice trait to this beings?
Part of what you said I don't follow but I understand enough to know you want a duck man.
So looking at races we want to use one without variants for our base. Since Triton already has a swim speed that is a good base. Going down the page...
Tritons get +1 to Strength, Constitution, and Charisma. Now since my fave Anthromorphic Duck (his name is Howard) is less of a fighter and more of a talker and a problem solver lets shift these points around. Say +2 to Charisma and +1 to Either Intelligence or Wisdom (keep in mind some things like the fact that ducks have hollow bones for making these shifts, also with no bonus to strength, constitution, or dexterity melee combat may be tough for these guys)
Age: Kinda up to you but I do recommend a maximum bellow human something like 50-60.
Alignment: Ducks are jerks but not as much as geese so I would say Chaotic Neutral, they just want to do what they want to do.
Size: You said you want them to be small so this would put them in the 2-4 foot height range.
Speed: Walking speed is 20 feet. (Ducks don't walk fast, they waddle) And you have a swim speed of 25 feet.
Flight: You have a flying speed of 30 feet. To use this speed, you can’t be wearing medium or heavy armor. (I gave them a slower fly speed cause you don't see ducks just flying around, they usually only do so for migrations or to escape a predator)
And then Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and Auran
The Tritons unique abilities don't all fit with a duck. Amphibious, this is pretty much a survival/utility ability that lets Tritons survive underwater but ducks are not amphibious, so I borrowed the Aarakocras wings.
The race is slightly weak but is usable. If you want to buff it some I would give it the Gust cantrip.

No worries! This is just my interpretation of the possible race. Did a little research on other anthropomorphic duck characters like the Mighty Ducks, Duck Man, Howard the Duck and Donald Duck/Scrooge McDuck so there are ALOT of variations, heck you could go Farfetch'd and give it some sort of rod/club/quarterstaff proficiency.

I'd give them +1 Dex, +1 to two of your choice other than Str, 25' walking speed, 25' swimming speed, 25' flying speed while not wearing heavy armor, and whatever else I could come up with. Seems like they really need something more.

Kinda like a low-key half-elf? With swimming and flying. I like to give utility/noncombat cantrips. They usually give non-casters some extra utility and they give casters more flexibility in choosing their cantrips. Also magic is fun.

I put them a +1 Char and +2 Con, so the Perception and Survival profiencies are very cool. And the prey mindset is closer to my idea. The flying is out of question, I see them like walkers and swimmers, with Common and Aquan like languages.

Thanks Sageis,
I put them +2 Con and +1 Dex, are not fighters but they are survivors. But I could give them some other instead of the Dex bonus.
The speed is 25, like the small races, and the swiming speed of 30...
The Flight option is cool, but maybe just a bit strong... and again, they are not winged anyway.
Thanks again and sorry for my English!

I just got an idea. Give them Perception and Survival; it's a most-things-eat-you world out there.

I have a bunch of that... I've literally made the FF's Black mages now - http://mariojpcsimon.blogspot.com/2016/09/invencion-propia-para-d-5-edicion-raza.html (in Spanish) and so others, included Dhampyrs and so on. thank you.
I put them a defensive trait to use his feathers to protect him, a thing pretty close to Halfling's Luck.

Oh thank you, that could be very nice indeed.

Thank you both.

I am going to add them one daily use of feather's fall to this race. Thank you all again.
