This duck arrives looking thoroughly waterlogged, feathers hanging in damp disarray, yet it is far from a silent bit of scenery. Its questioning manner lends it a lively, practical curiosity amid Wonderland’s bewildering talk.

The Duck is among the creatures who come ashore after swimming through the pool of tears, its feathers left draggled by the water. Later, it joins the Mouse’s history lesson with pointed questions about the meaning of words, bringing a grounded, questioning note to the group. The book gives it no further personal history or transformation.
Description
The Duck has a compact, familiar waterfowl shape, though its exact size and coloring are not specified. Its most distinctive feature is its wet, draggled plumage, feathers clumped and untidy from swimming. It carries itself with an alert, questioning air; no clothing, accessories, or other markings are described. The Duck is described as wet after the pool of tears, with its feathers still damp during the Caucus-race. No plumage color, size, eye color, or distinguishing markings are specified. Its most evident visual quality is the bedraggled look of a waterbird among a crowd of equally soaked creatures.
