Why adopt

Calm. Loyal. Quacks when hungry. The Duck follows you around not because it needs you, but because it chose you. Fast trust speed and a 5-hour feeding window make it one of the easiest exotics to care for. No special mechanic, no hidden complexity. Just a duck that needs bread and attention. The simplest creature is sometimes the hardest to forget.
