YOU BROKE THE ONLY RULE.
THEREFORE I HAVE TO GIVE YOU BAD NEWS.
YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE.―Mr. Duck
Mr. Duck, formerly known as The Manager, is a light yellow anthropomorphic duck with a red bowtie that always shows up and talks in announcements on behalf of The Federation.
His words are translated to all languages present in the QSMP, showcased in different colors above his head, the English language being yellow. When mad, worried, or warning about detrimental stuff, the Duckling speaks in a bold red text while in a burning, equally red, and chaotic background. He also puts on a sad face.
He was formerly the manager of Quesadilla Island and face of The Federation. His name was revealed on February 3rd, 2024, being later replaced by Mr. Bunny.
Physiology
Physically, the Duckling is nothing but a simple, cartoony, and yellow anthropomorphic duck. He has an orange beak, two strands of fur on top of his head, is also quite chubby, and is always seen wearing a red bow tie. Other than those features, nothing much can be added to the Duckling's traits.
Personality
Personality-wise, the Duckling is quite cheerful and always presents itself in an enthusiastic manner. He also seems to be empathetic and, unlike Cucurucho and the other Federation members, is a very emotional being, feeling happiness, rage, sadness, guilt, and all the other complex range of emotions. It's unknown if it's all part of an act, but at least he has the capability of understanding sentiments.
The Duckling also acts in an authoritarian manner, demanding and giving orders to the players, and also setting up rules for them. He'll also scold the inhabitants if they deviate from what they were told.
History
Pre-QSMP
Before the QSMP even started, the Duckling showed up in the server trailer.[1] In the "Welcome to the QSMP" trailer, just like he did with all QSMP members on their first day in the island, the Duckling put a wall between English and Spanish Quackity, stating that, as rule number 1, they should never speak with each other.
Since the very beginning, the Duckling had the role of making announcements in the name of The Federation.
Day 1 ~ March 22nd
The 1st announcement
In the 1st announcement, the Duckling asked for the members help to restore power to the island, so they could enjoy their stay on the island. The announcement ended with coordinates flashing at the screen while the USA EAS alarm sound played in the background, this manner of delivering a message is common and has been seen in almost every other announcement made by the Duckling, however, it's unknown if its his doing.
Transcription of the 1st Announcement
:(, You were so close...[note 4]
Anyways, I want to welcome you to...
Quesadilla Island!
To enjoy this wonderful island...
I'd like to ask you for a favor. Restore power to the island!
Thank you for your cooperation, and enjoy your stay in...
Quesadilla Island!
The Duckling is cut by the EAS alarm, coordinates then flash on the screen, later ending the announcement.

The 2nd Announcement
The 2nd announcement was made right after they fixed the island's power system, which was then thanked and congratulated by the Duckling. In this announcement, he acknowledged The Wall spliting the island and told the members their only one rule, being that they should never ever cross the wall, as it was built to keep them safe. The Duckling denoted great importance to the rule, stating it shouldn't be broken, ever.
Afterwards, the Duckling told them that if they find a red button, they shouldn't ever press it, which was the first thing the members did once they found it. It's theorized The Federation did this on purpose, as if, although they said the newcomers shouldn't press the button, they intended for it to be pressed since the very beginning
The announcement was ended by the EAS alarm once again.
Transcription of the 2nd Announcement
Well done! Thank you for all your help... There's a couple of things you should know. You might've seen a massive wall that is dividing the island. In this island there's only one rule, and you can never break this rule. The rule is... Never. Never cross that wall. It was built to keep you safe. So if you end up finding a red button, don't press it. Ever. Thank you for your cooperation!
EAS: END TAPE.
The 3rd Announcement
The third and final announcement was given right after the members pressed the button they supposedly shouldn't have pressed, destroying The Wall by doing so. The Duckling expressed his disappointment by giving the newcomers some bad news: they should get comfy and start their new lives, because they won't ever be able to leave the island.
Transcription of the 3rd Announcement
The disappointed Duckling stared in silence for around 10 seconds before saying anything.
You broke the only rule. Therefore I have to give you bad news, YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE. Since you can never leave... Make sure to make yourselves comfy! Find a place to build your permanent home! And remember one thing... Enjoy Quesadilla Island!
EAS: END TAPE.
Day 13 ~ April 3rd
The researcher is reading out loud the results of some experiment, presumedly going on in the island. When the Duckling comes in, it starts to showcase what the members built on the island, rating them. The Duckling then told about the dragon who lived asleep on Quesadilla Island and how it woke up with The Wall's explosion and fled away because of it, leaving its eggs behind for the players to take care of. This is the starting point of the Partner Egg event.

Hello friends! Nice to see you again! It's only been 12 days... but you guys kept busy! Today I have an important announcement, but before telling you... Let's see what you've done in the island! [A series of buildings are shown, rated either through a thumbs up emoji or a vine boom.] You all have built beautiful things! But let's focus on today's announcement. We have very bad news, but first I need to tell you a story. Our beautiful island used to be a home to the biggest dragon on earth. One day, the dragon fell asleep and has been inactive for many years. Unfortunately, when you guys broke the wall, this made a very loud noise in the island. Now the dragon is awake and missing. But don't worry, it left a present. It's beautiful baby eggs!!! We feel like the dragon will soon come back and it will be looking for its kids. So we can't let these babies die. Fortunately we have built our very first Adoption Center! So in groups of 2... you will take care of the babies until the mother comes back! Your partner will be chosen randomly. In the adoption center you will be given an item, the person who gets the same item as you will be your random partner. You will have to complete daily challenges... to make sure your egg doesn't die! Also, an important detail... your pair has to be someone who speaks the opposite language. This will incentivize teamwork!! You will get further instructions soon!! Bye!
Day 33 ~ April 24th
Until the Duckling appeared again, this was the last announcement made for a very long time.
