Ducks v4.08

Parasite 🔪

Parasite · Difficulty ★★★
Updated: 2026-07-02 · All roles

🖼️ In-Game Visuals

🪱

Appearance: Small hidden parasite form; perfect visual copy of host after emerging.

Gameplay Examples: Implant the Sheriff, shapeshift, then continue tasking with Geese as the victim.

Counters: Watch for players who vanish then reappear as someone else. After a host death look for sudden behavior changes.

Compiled from game mechanics, community matches and tested strategies. Always verify with latest patch.

Can KillYes
Can VoteYes

🏆 Win Condition

Ducks: Kill and sabotage until non-Ducks cannot form a voting majority.

Ability

Starts each round inside the Carrier. Once implanted, kills the host after a short delay then emerges and can shapeshift into the victim’s appearance (toggle back to own form). If the host dies another way you both die. Can vent. May only skip votes.

💡 Tips

  • Pop isolated hosts as fast as possible
  • Get to safety and switch form immediately after the kill
  • Stay in sync with Carrier to avoid friendly fire
  • After shapeshifting, avoid high-profile actions right away

🎯 Playbook

Strategy: Prioritize armed or high-value Geese. Use the new form to blend back into the Goose group.

Meeting lines: As the victim: ‘XX dragged me over there, I didn’t see the kill.’ (You were the killer wearing their skin.)
