"What's a duck?"
―Luke Skywalker[src]

Ducks were a type of waterfowl that could be found on several different planets throughout the galaxy, notably Naboo.[1] As a result, they were incorporated in several idiomatic expressions in Galactic Basic Standard, including "sitting duck"[3] and "even a duck has to be taught to swim."[4] The ship known as the Dusty Duck was presumably also named for these animals.[5]

Not all residents of the galaxy were familiar with ducks, especially in some of the provincial regions or on dry, arid planets of the galaxy, like Tatooine. After hearing Obi-Wan Kenobi mention a duck, Luke Skywalker curiously asked what one was.[4]

Naboo was also home to similar waterfowl with four legs, rather than two.[6]
