Duckens are plastic multi-colored duck dolls with a segmented section in their torso, first introduced in Monster Rancher 2 where they are obtainable by winning a contest in the mail and receiving a Duck Doll. This established their toy-like nature, but as they have reappeared in all subsequent games (except Monster Farm Online and Monster Farm Lagoon), their connection with toys has lessened. They are now more seen as puzzles. They are known for eccentric attacks, using parts of their body as projectiles.
Etymology[]
So-named because it is modeled after the duck, a type of waterfowl.
Its Japanese name is Dakkun.

Obtaining[]
- To obtain a Ducken in Monster Rancher 2, feed your monster cup jellies until you collect 5 lids with diamonds on them. Send away for a Duck Doll which you can then sell or give to your monster. Raise your monster to Class C with at least 50 Fame and 210 Life. You must have already gone to the Kawrea once with Dr. Talico. On Feb. 1, Rovest will invite you to explore the Torles Mountains. Search the three trees in the front for the Strong Glue (it is randomly placed in one of the trees and can be difficult to find!). Collect 5 more diamond lids and build another Duck Doll using the Glue. Use this item in combining with any two monsters.
