Sometimes, waterfowl are portrayed as animals that are beautiful and serene as they glide along the surface of a lake, or as silly and comical animals in case of ducks. This is not that. Sometimes, waterfowl are portrayed as hyper-aggressive and/or total dicks towards others. Usually, it involves swans and geese, but the portrayal of ducks as selfish and temperamental in The Golden Age of Animation would also fall under this. There is a bit of Truth in Television to this: geese and swans are naturally very territorial, and they will attack anything they see as a threat. Furthermore, as some of the largest and strongest of all birds, they are quite powerful enough to break bones with one blow. So, of course, if a human walks by and seems to challenge their authority, that human is, simply put, totally ducked. Geese in particular have a tendency to barge in on human settlements, leading to inevitable conflict. Geese are the most likely to receive this treatment. While smaller than swans, they're just as ferocious and more commonly seen in everyday life (thanks to the aforementioned intrusion on human territory), but don't have the beauty and elegance to cancel it out. Geese also tend to be more consistently hostile towards humans compared to swans, which tend to only be particularly aggressive towards people while raising their offspring, as swans are known for their protectiveness, and will generally only attack people if they intrude on their territory, whereas with geese, it's the opposite scenario, as geese can and will encroach on human territory if it has the resources to sustain them. Geese also tend to gather in large groups, increasing the odds that they'll outnumber any humans encountering them. Additionally, while serrated tongues are common among waterfowl as a means of breaking up food (since they don't have teeth), their presence on geese factors into their image as more menacing than most other common birds, with people frequently describing geese as having "teeth on their tongues" to invoke feelings of Body Horror. This is also not getting into the horrific reproductive habits ducks engage in, which have earned them quite a lot of internet infamy. Subtrope of Feathered Fiend. Contrast Swans A-Swimming, a much more peaceful view of waterfowl. Can overlap with Quacking Up if you got an Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist, or Noisy Duck if the duck is loud. Compare Cocky Rooster for another domesticated bird with a similar stereotype. |

RuneQuest: Ducks and keets are sapient (and playable) Bird People, apparently included in the setting in a fit of authorial whimsy. They were seemingly at least partly inspired by Daffy and Donald Duck (see Western Animation below), and are variously depicted as setting Butt Monkeys, suffering under some kind of racial curse, or being something of a Proud Warrior Race; they both suffer from and engage in Fantastic Racism. Hence, while not evil, they certainly tend to be played as having quite an attitude. | |

The TierZoo video "Are Geese OP?" discusses geese as if they were video game characters. They are described as relying mostly on their powerful Intimidation ability to damage their enemies' resolve, but with very little actual attack power to back it up, instead relying on a combination of durability and mobility to get away from enemies who resist their intimidation attempts. The video suggests counter-strategies to the goose's playstyle: resist their intimidation attempts, target their neck (which becomes vulnerable when they use their Peck attack), and use stealth to avoid their intimidation abilities. It also gives a tip to goose players: focus on dodging the enemy's grab attacks. Finally, it describes the swan as an upgraded version of the goose build, as it actually has the power to back up its intimidation. Throughout the whole video, clips of geese acting like jerks are shown. | |

The Battle Cats: Duche is a duck enemy, but it's not really menacing or intimidating enough to qualify. However, the same can't be said for Casaurian Ahirujo and its variants — giant, monstrous Duches which move much faster and dish out three quick, devastating peck attacks at a time. | |

Looney Tunes used this a few times: The Ducktators: In this 1941 Wartime Cartoon, the Axis Powers' leaders are portrayed as ducks and a goose, all of whom are laughably nasty but still manage to sway the more gullible farm animals into helping them take over the farm. They're only stopped by the intervention of the Dove Of Peace. Daffy Duck is portrayed as a greedy and narcissistic duck who relishes in messing with the likes of Elmer Fudd or Bugs Bunny for the hell of it, or to get something he wants, though Porky Pig was a more frequent target of his shenanigans. However, as he is the one that usually starts the cartoon's conflict, he often had some sort of karma handed to him by the end. His vices were especially brought to the forefront from "Rabbit Fire" onward, emphasizing his callous vanity to make him a better foil to Bugs (and later antagonist for Speedy Gonzales), not returning to his earlier screwball personality until Wabbit: A Looney Tunes Production. Several cartoons have Daffy as a married duck, and invariably his wife is shown as large, strong, and nasty. Zig-zagged in the 1943 cartoon "A Corny Concerto". The "Blue Danube" segment stars a black duckling that resembles a young Daffy, who is seeking to join a family of swans. The mother swan is quite abusive toward the duckling, at one point smacking him down so hard he leaves an Impact Silhouette in the water. Then her cygnets are kidnapped by a hungry buzzard and the duckling rescues them. Afterward, he's accepted as a member of the swan's family. |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Like in Minna Sundberg's earlier work, A Redtail's Dream, the Swan of Tuonela is not a nice bird. When Omni tries to make a deal with her to have Tuuri help him retrieve his grandmother's soul from the kade, she threatens him several times and tells him she will get two souls back, even if it's from Onni. Aside from that, she's very rude to the protagonists and once the kade is defeated, only nabs a couple of the souls that were trapped inside rather than the entire lot. | |

She's hellbent on ensuring anyone who winds up in her domain stays there, as the dead are supposed to, regardless of the fact that several of the people stuck there aren't even deceased. Of course, she's not actually evil, more incredibly stressed-out and having no time or patience for those who interfere with her incredibly important work. | |

In Milo Murphy's Law, a recurring gag is that Elliot Decker, the crossing guard- er, Safety Czar, gets constantly assaulted by ducks. It doesn't matter if he's nearby a pond or completely hospitalized, ducks tend to find him and ruthlessly attack him. They'll even attack his mere image on a parachute; ducks hate him that much. Violently aggressive ducks may have initially been a running gag for the episode "Party of Peril" alone (the same episode that introduced Elliot's little problem with ducks), as when Milo's parents arrive with mattresses during the planning for Milo's surprise party, Brigette mentions they're useful for everyone to wrap themselves in them in case of duck attacks. Then at the very end of the episode, an angry family of ducks does indeed arrive at the party. |

A Beginner's Guide to the End of the Universe: When battling the flock of void birds, the Everyman's decision to taunt them in order to lure them towards himself ultimately succeeds in getting some of the more innately aggressive ones to break off and pursue him when they can no longer tamp down their predatory instincts, at the cost of drawing the attention of the more dangerous specimens. The ones thus depicted are a falcon, a hawk, an eagle, an owl... and a Canadian goose. | |

The Brittas Empire: In the episode "Curse of the Tiger Women", Brittas ends up being pecked unconscious by a goose which had eaten his cooking (which had been cursed to kill those who eat it). It should be noted that a lot of birds ate his cooking, it was just the goose that went after Brittas personally. | |

Grim Hollow: The Gasdra, also known as "The Witch's Goose", is an abomination against nature created through Black Magic; created by hags, evil fae and Black Mages, the ritual requires filling a golden bowl with the blood of a newborn baby beneath the light (dark?) of a new moon and then placing a goose egg to soak in the blood under the moonlight for at least four hours. When the ritual is complete, a fully-grown gasdra emerges from the egg, taking the form of a disfigured, three-headed, man-sized goose with a ravenous appetite for flesh. It lays jet-black eggs that are completely inedible for humans (but regarded as a delicacy by evil fey) and is typically used as a guard-beast. A second unholy rite, which involves painting a gasdra's feathers with the yolks of at least seventy of its own eggs and feeding it seven newborn babies beneath a new moon, transforms it into a more powerful form that is large enough to ride and sports four more heads. | |

The Ducktators: In this 1941 Wartime Cartoon, the Axis Powers' leaders are portrayed as ducks and a goose, all of whom are laughably nasty but still manage to sway the more gullible farm animals into helping them take over the farm. They're only stopped by the intervention of the Dove Of Peace. | |

Pokémon: Pokémon: The Series: Misty's Psyduck could be a greedy jerk at times, for example eating an apple Bulbasaur wanted to give to Togepi in "Pikachu's Vacation", stealing all of the food Brock cooked in "Alola, Alola!", and taking Misty's entire ice cream cone in "Heart of Fire, Heart of Stone!" Pokémon the Series: Black & White: In the episode "Dancing With the Ducklett Trio", Ash and friends, along with the sunglasses-wearing Sandile, battle against a trio of Jerkass Ducklett who steal their stuff and the latter's sunglasses. |

Courage the Cowardly Dog: One of the recurring villains is Le Quack, a French Jerk duck with an exaggerated Maurice Chevalier Accent. Le Quack is a Con Man who enacts various schemes to get rich. He's also implied to have killed people. The Goose God from "The Gods Must Be Goosey" is obsessed with Muriel and feels entitled to have her all to himself. The Precious, Wonderful, Adorable, Lovable Duckling from the episode of the same name is an Enfant Terrible who wants to get rid of Muriel so that he can have Eustace all to himself. |

She attacks by twirling around like a tornado to try to suck Kirby towards her, as well as being able to toss cyclones at the pink hero.

Zig-zagged in the 1943 cartoon "A Corny Concerto". The "Blue Danube" segment stars a black duckling that resembles a young Daffy, who is seeking to join a family of swans. The mother swan is quite abusive toward the duckling, at one point smacking him down so hard he leaves an Impact Silhouette in the water. Then her cygnets are kidnapped by a hungry buzzard and the duckling rescues them. Afterward, he's accepted as a member of the swan's family. | |

Vinesauce: Vinny's hatred of geese is a Running Gag throughout his streams, owed to the fact that they often chased him off the playground as a kid. During one early in the channel's life (you can find the clip here), he went on a particularly aggressive rant about how much he hates geese, stating that they do disgusting, loud "screams", they poop everywhere, they smell bad, etc. | |
