Which certainly could be true. I don't quite follow the logic of the Beast 
Valley thing. The Ducks are pesky and aggressive, either the least or most 
successful of the Zoo's creation - perhaps Delecti's last real creation before 
everything went tits up for him - but either way not the same as the other beast 
hybrids. The Aramites are a simialr case of beasty hybrid that doesn't live in 
Beast Valley (IMO).
