Special Ducks are ducks not found through direct game-play, but rather through doing special tasks. They fall under some special classifications from where they are found.
Swampy Tri-ducked Ducks[]
These ducks represent the Player's Progress in Swampy's Story and appear below Swampy's window on the water when a chapter in is tri-ducked.
- "Meet Swampy" (normal)
- "Troubled Waters" (soldier)
- "Under Pressure" (superhero)
- "Sink or Swim" (cool)
- "Change is Good" (scientist)
- "Boiling Point" (eskimo)
- "Stretched Thin" (viking)
- "Caution to the Wind" (pilot)
