I have a Basmoli duck gladiator, Runk Squallheart. He's accompanied by the pygmy ostrich-rider shaman (which order do I put those words in?) "Dr" Pungi Deepnose, who acts as his agent, trainer, media liaison and sports psychologist [1].

Pungi casts the ostrich riders' cult spell Magnify Bird [2] on Runk before his bouts. It seems to work. This definitive research proves that ducks are birds.

[1] Pungi claims to have a Myth.D. in Bloodsports Legendry via a correspondence course from the University of Sog City. How the examiners understood his knot writing, I have no idea.
