Outer Heaven UprisingEdit

Main Article

During Operation Intrude N313, Duck fought against FOXHOUND operative Solid Snake. Using three prisoners of war as human shields, which included Jennifer's brother, he dared Snake to try and shoot him, while attacking with his lethal boomerangs. In addition, the area's floor was rigged with a pit trap, just in case Snake attempted to close in on Duck. However, Snake found an opening against Duck's attacks and killed him without harming the hostages.

Behind the scenes Edit

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 character Howard the Duck.

Duck's weapons of choice are returning boomerangs, commonly thought of as an Australian icon, though Duck's own nationality has never been 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 returns in Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, with the character Slasher Hawk.
