World of Warcraftplayers have discovered how they can unlock their very own duck battle pet inDragonflight. By completing an adorable sidequest in the Dragon Isles,World of Warcraftplayers can have a cute duckling to follow them around and participate in Pet Battles.
The duckling battle pet can be earned when players visit the Ohn’ahran Plains–one of the new zones inDragonflight. During the quest, players help an ancient by the name of Gracus care for a group of young ducklings.

Gracus can be found in the Shady Sanctuary of theGreen Dragonflight inWorld of Warcraft: Dragonflight. The first quest, Some Call Me Bug Catcher, has players collect beetles to help Gracus feed the ducklings. During the second quest, Others Call Me Duck Herder, players gather the baby ducks, while the final quest, But… I am the Hero of Ducks, sends players to save Firequackers–a duckling who got himself swallowed by a giant frog. After saving the day, Gracus awards players with Pilot, a clever young duckling of their own.
During the announcement ofDragonflight, players were understandably excited to explore the storied Dragon Isles and take to the skies with their custom Dragonriding mounts. However, the announcement stream also revealed the existence of ducks on the Dragon Isles. The absence of the mysterious mallards fromWorld of Warcraftwas something of a meme by many players, so theirDragonflightreveal was quite hilarious. After two decades of waiting, players can finally get a duck friend of their own–and Hunter players can get even more ducks bytaming them as animal companions inWorld of Warcraft.
Players were understandably overjoyed to see they can unlock a duckling inDragonflight, and even more so that it was in such a cute quest. Some players said protecting the ducklings should take priority overstopping Raszageth and the Primalists inDragonflight, and stated they would be completing this quest as soon as they could. They declared the ducks as reason enough forDragonflightto be the best expansion yet, and hopeWorld of Warcraftwill eventually make Hero of Ducks as a title they can unlock.
The Dragon Isles ofDragonflightare filled with all sorts of amazing creatures. Between lava snails, dragon-frog hornswogs, and the bakar hunting hounds of the Maruuk centaur, fauna-lovingWorld of Warcraftfans have plenty of mounts, pets, and animals to collect inDragonflight. With thenewWorld of Warcraftexpansion rolling out across the globe, players can rush to the Dragon Isles to see everythingDragonflighthas to offer.
