Officer Duckman

A black duck-like police officer investigating serial killer Barney.

Officer Duckman is a black, duck-like police officer in Animal Hospital (Anomaly) who's investigating the serial killer Barney. He's tied directly to your choices during Barney's storyline — he only shows up at all if you agree to hide Barney behind the front desk, and never appears if you deny or ignore every one of Barney's requests. What happens next depends on whether you turn Barney in.

Behavior

A black duck-like police officer investigating serial killer Barney. His appearance is dynamic: he only shows up after the player has agreed to hide Barney behind the front desk, and never appears if the player denies or ignores all of Barney's requests. If the player turns Barney in, Duckman is attacked and faints, requiring medical treatment to survive; he does not reward the player. If the player refuses to turn Barney in, he leaves and asks the player to report suspicious activity.

How to Respond

Treat him if he faints after being attacked by Barney to save him; otherwise no special interaction is required.

Quick tips

  • If you turn Barney in to Officer Duckman, he gets attacked and faints — you'll need to treat him like a patient to save him, though there's no reward for doing so.
  • If you refuse to turn Barney in, Duckman simply leaves and asks you to report suspicious activity instead — no combat or treatment needed.
