I began this weird turn of events: Michael Cule classified Ducks (not ducks) as mammals in his otherwise excellent anatian monomyth, and I wondered about exactly this. Honorary mammals, probably, but...

Waha aint a Theyalan deity and most ducks never heard of him. The Devil's Swamp is Chaotic, the Upland Marsh aint.
