Homebrew Duck folk Species Details

Duckfolk are small avian humanoids with feathered bodies, webbed feet, and broad, expressive bills. Though often underestimated due to their size, they are resilient, observant, and highly adaptable.

Duckfolk settlements are commonly found near rivers, lakes, marshes, and coastlines. Their natural swimming ability and comfort in wet environments make them excellent navigators and traders. While not true flyers, their wings allow controlled gliding and safe descents from heights.

Duckfolk culture values memory, preparation, and cooperation. Many become scribes, scholars, guild leaders, or mages, believing knowledge and foresight are the surest defenses against disaster. Duckfolk adventurers often leave home to secure allies, uncover lost lore, or protect their people from distant threats.
