Behind the scenes

Artwork of Dirty Duck in the Metal Gear Solid 4 Database.

Dirty Duck (ダーティ・ダック, Dāti Dakku^?) is a boss that appears in Metal Gear. He is named Coward Duck (カワード・ダック, Kawādo Dakku^?) in the original MSX2 version, after the comic book/movie character Howard the Duck.

Duck's weapons of choice are returning boomerangs, commonly thought of as an Australian icon, though Duck's own nationality is never specified. They are semi-descended from hunting implements called kylies, that was often associated with the Aborigine people of Australia, although archaeological evidence indicated that non-returning boomerangs existed as early as the Stone Age in Europe. The idea of a boss using boomerangs as their primary weapon returned in Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, with the character Slasher Hawk.
