Do you see it? Hiding in the darkness it awaits, a terror in the night. It's an undead duck, and it brings ruin.
An unusual undead, it appears to be some zombified duck possessed of strange powers and wild wrath. It tends to lurk around unseen and unheard, only to find some victim and pick upon them harassing them until they leave its territory. The nature of their supreme inability to be detected is something of a mystery of many.
In spite of being intelligent, uketas do not speak beyond loud and exaggerated duck sounds and show no evidence of sapience beyond tactical cunning, holding grudges, and petty behaviors. Uketas are about the size of a cat and 4 lbs.
Combat[edit]
Uketas are ambushers, using their undetectable nature to strike from where creatures least expect it. They fight to protect their territory, but are not above petty revenge. Often one group finds themselves pursued to the ends of the earth by a uketa for some slight they unwittingly committed against it.
Quack Attack (Ex): A uketa's only physical attack is a wild flurry of bites, slams, and chaotic flapping around. As a standard action it deals bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage out to a 5 ft radius centered on it, dealing the same damage as a swarm of its HD size. The attack roll applies to all targets within the area. This counts as an area effect for the purpose of interacting with swarms and other effects.
Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): At will-cause fear; 1/day-animate dead, confusion (DC 16), contagion (DC 16), enervation. The save DC is Wisdom based.
Unusually Unseen Duck (Sp): As a standard action at will, the uketa can duplicate invisibility and silence (self only) on itself at will. It is very difficult to detect by sight or sound as a result and it usually stalks its prey using this ability. Both invisibility and silence end on an attack.
Skills: An uketa has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.
