Wooden ducks
Wooden Ducks are unique non-player characters (NPCs) found in the famed game Old School RuneScape (OSRS). These quirky figures appear as simple wooden carvings resembling ducks, and they can be encountered throughout various locations in Gielinor.
Wooden Ducks serve a primarily decorative purpose; however, they do hold a minor role in the context of the game’s lore and community tasks. They are renowned for their presence in the game as part of an informal community challenge that has sprung up among players to find and recognize all of the Wooden Ducks scattered across the world.
Though they do not provide quests, rewards, or interaction mechanics like traditional NPCs, Wooden Ducks symbolize the whimsical nature of the game and encourage exploration and environmental observation by players. Some players may choose to document their locations, sharing tips and coordinates in forums and social media platforms related to OSRS.
The Wooden Ducks can mostly be found in areas with a natural setting or wooded regions, often near water bodies, capping off a serene landscape that players can appreciate while adventuring. They are crafted to blend into their environment, requiring players to explore diligently to discover all of their hidden spots.
While interacting with a Wooden Duck does not prompt any dialogue or triggering of events, players often find it amusing to spot them and take screenshots as they traverse the game world. As newcomers and veterans alike keep their eyes peeled for these charming easter eggs, the Wooden Ducks have grown into an endearing aspect of the OSRS experience, creating moments of joy and nostalgia within the community.
