Rubber duck

A rubber duck

A rubber duck is a toy made of soft plastic that is shaped to look like a duck and also painted like one. Being hollow, it can swim on water and can squeak when squeezing it. One appears in Ultima VI.

Description

The sewer worker Daros had a never-ending supply of these and didn't hesitate to give the Avatar one each time they parted. How exactly such an item made of plastics – which requires industrial process to create – ended up in Britannia is a mystery that remains unsolved.

Trivia

• This item is essentially the continuation of the long-standing duck-related jokes in the series.
• Interesting enough, a rubber duck can be found at Xiao’s place in the city of Moonglow in the Commodore version of this game.
