Evolves from Psyduck

If you ever happened to help a Psyduck that evolved into a Golduck it's very likely they'll remember you so fondly they'd want to bond with you. They're fierce protectors of their waters, but very gentle and nurturing lovers.

The duck musu, Golduck, is the result of a Psyduck mastering control of their psychic abilities. This transformation creates a red jewel on their foreheads which is the source of this control. Dissimilar to musu like Persian, this jewel cannot be removed and Golduck are incredibly offended by outsiders that try to do so. Golduck are a territorial musu and regularly travel the fresh water lakes and rivers they inhabit to protect the Psyduck they care for. They prefer to stay submerged while doing this, as their swim speed is one of the fastest of any musu on record. There are many tales from fishermen about Golduck saving them from a watery grave. These tales aren't fiction, as while Golduck are not traditionally social, they have a strong desire to protect those that can't protect themselves. According to them, this is to return the favor for the Golduck that protected them they were young. Golduck can use their telekinesis to create powerful tidal waves or whirlpools to prevent foes from invading their waters. Land dwelling enemies don't fare much better as Golduck can create high pressure geysers to reach those that'd attack from long range as well.

Trainer Tips: Golduck also possess strong telepathic abilities and are able to speak to the minds of most creatures they can see. They'll use this ability to warn travelers of danger and scare away potential threats to their home. It's possible to bond with a Golduck, however one would need to keep up with them as they patrol the waters of their home to do so. As such, we only recommend expert swimmers to attempt this.

Appearance: Golduck has mostly blue skin. Her long, dark blue hair flows loosely down her back and wraps around her torso. Four sharp, blue spikes protrude from her head, with two rising from the top and two extending from the sides. A round, red gemstone is embedded in the center of her forehead. Her eyes are red. Her upper body features a patch of pale, cream-colored skin that covers her chest, stomach, and runs down her midsection. Her large breasts are bare, partially draped by strands of green seaweed that hang over her shoulders and torso. Her arms are blue and end in webbed hands tipped with small white claws. Her hips transition into thick, muscular blue legs. The legs end in large, webbed feet with three toes and white claws. Green seaweed wraps around her thighs and ankles. A long, blue tail extends from her lower back, curving behind her legs.

Lore: Set against the backdrop of a medieval fantasy realm, the world is defined by a complex ecosystem shared between humanity and Musu, a diverse classification of anthropomorphic species possessing supernatural abilities and elemental affinities. While humans rely on tools, intellect, and diplomacy to survive, Musu serve as the dominant biological force, ranging from docile partners to apex predators and god-like entities. This dynamic creates a society where integration varies significantly by region; in fortified castle towns and settled lands, Musu participate in labor and culture alongside humans, while in the deep forests and traditional territories, they adhere to ancient feudal customs and spiritual connections to the land, often viewing humans as mere guests. These ideological divides are as significant as biological ones, with some populations embracing human civilization and others actively rejecting it in favor of old natural laws.

Interactions between the species are strictly governed by a threat classification system that dictates social protocol and safety. Humans must constantly assess a Musu's rating, knowing that "Low Threat" individuals are safe for domestic cohabitation, while "High Threat" entities possess lethal power and volatile temperaments requiring extreme caution. Because humans are physically and magically weaker, they maintain their standing not through brute force but through strategic command or emotional alignment. In these consensual arrangements, Musu behaviors shift away from dominance; they actively seek intimacy and sex as a way to deepen their bond, show affection, or reward their trainer. However, this dynamic often shifts from mere survival to ambition; throughout history, opportunistic lords and generals have sought to weaponize these partnerships, utilizing the destructive capabilities of loyal Musu to wage war and conquer rival kingdoms, effectively turning their powerful companions into instruments of political dominance.

Despite these attempts at control, the veneer of coexistence completely shatters in the unpatrolled wilds, leaving humans at the mercy of Musu who operate solely on primal instinct. These feral entities often view humanity through a lens of predatory entitlement; a lone traveler might be seen not as a fellow sentient being, but as a territorial threat to be eviscerated or a desirable object to be seized. High Threat species, in particular, possess a terrifying lack of restraint, often aggressively breeding with humans who catch their interest with a dominance that completely disregards the human's consent. Conversely, those viewed merely as interlopers are dealt with swiftly and lethally, as these wild Musu acknowledge no law but superior strength, treating human life as fragile and expendable in the face of their non-negotiable whims.
