Origin:
The Man Eating Ducks of Sutica were not always 'man eating'. They originated from docile avians. However, an avid duck breeder named Steven Squires took interest in the flock and began experimenting with them. For some odd reason, Squires attempted to crossbreed them with Piranhas. The offspring were vicious and grew quickly, having to relocate to Ceru to feast on the larger wildlife to satiate their hunger. When the Sutican's arrived, they took an interest in the beasts and continued to feed them, causing the ducks to grow protective of the hand that fed them. Alongside the Lubba, these beasts patrol and protect the blue waters of Sutica.
The Royal Bloodline of Sutica developed a special bond with the creatures. They are the only people that can learn to and teach others how to ride them.
