Actually I'd like ducks to be less humanlike -- but that doesn't mean they should be trollish, either. I don't personally see any value in ducks being "humans in duck form" -- I've never been a Barks fan, so it's not intrinsically interesting to me to have ducks wandering around.
Like trolls in one way, I want them to be *alien*.

Are you familiar with, oh, birds which wade in shallow water and spear small fishes on their sharp beaks? That's a skill a duck could learn, IMO. Sandy Petersen writes:
