Quackthulhu is a massive, swollen duck-like creature of ill green feathers and flesh, burning red eyes, and four terrible whipping tentacles protruding from its body. A glowing stone that fell as a shooting star is embedded within its back, with dark veins writhing around where it pierces its body.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
"The Adventures of the Darrington Brigade" (OSx35)[edit | edit source]
Quackthulu was an ordinary duck until a meteor crashed into its duck pond, implanting itself into his back, and mutating it into a gigantic aberration. The Darrington Brigade killed it after a long, hard-fought battle, removing the meteor to take back to Doolan Tversky for a 10,000 gp reward.
