So this is a really dumb concept, I randomly thought of a interesting creature to go with the idea of plant/animals mutations.
Behold: The Poquacssuim!( banana+ duck I really need a better name for it...)
Reason of creation:
Anyone remember banana pops? There a really interesting healing food that you need a banana for to make and honestly, going into the deep ancient ruins and fighting sleep paralysis monkey demons dont really feel worth a food item that lasts for two days and give 20 health. So I thought of this as an easier way of getting bananas! A living mutant crossed with a banana and a duck.
Behavior
Maybe they could live in groups near the shore, they swim around aimlessly and come to land every now and then to eat berries and ect(you'll mostly see them on sea but it's possible to force them on land) when attacked they will run, but if there low on health they will fight back and chase you (like a real duck or bird would in general). When killed they will drop a banana, and maybe leafy meat just like its other plant/animal relatives.
Domestication:
What I really would like if maybe there was a way to sort of domesticate them. Maybe it can work similar to volt goats and if you feed them enough, they will drop a banana egg or something random, and you can plant it and it will start growing more of them and the ones spawned by the seed will stay near the plant and if the ducks die the plant will produce more. That way bananas are more renewable and less rare to get/harvest. I thought of an idea of making banana ducks grown by player causes will eventually turn black and die turning to rot and you could give fertilizing items to the ducks to keep them ripe, making a way to finally get rid of rot once in for all!(not really since they make rot if you dont care for them, so... I guess if there not feed then they'll spoil.) But I want to know what y'all think.
Thoughts?
Any thoughts so far or better ideas to add to the table? I'm gonna put a lot more things and ideas into this later on.
