The name duckbear is entirely misleading, it is not, as its name might suggest, a combination of bear and duck, but instead a creature with the body of a bear and the head of a pigeon, completely covered with slate gray feathers with more colorful, typically iridescant green, feathers in a band around its neck. Duckbears stand about 9 feet tall and weigh up to 1,600 pounds, regardless of sex. Duckbears are not especially bright, in fact their intelligence more closely matches that of a pigeon than that of a bear. If they feel threatened by an intruder encroaching on their lair, or if the duckbear is attacked, it will fight back with great ferocity, but there are no records of a duckbear attacking unprovoked.
