Lizard-ducks

Lizard-ducks were one of many animals with reptilian characteristics found in the Malazan world. They could be found living in the waters just outside Brownrun Bay in Lake Azur. These scaly, foul-smelling birds nested on "floating shit islands" where they hoped to lure water eels to swallow their eggs. Once consumed, the eggs proved indigestible and the eels served as a ready source of food once eggs hatched. Lizard-ducks made hissing calls to each other in cadence with the chimes of Darujhistan's water clocks.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.238
