==History==
D.D.s received some changes in ''Wario Land II'', which made them and their boomerangs slightly smaller, and the latter spin faster. In the [[Game Boy Color]] version, they are usually given an orange, mint green, and dark blue palette, though four D.D.s in the level [[Defeat four ducks!]], where Wario has to find and defeat four of them, were given a deep red, blue, and black color palette.

D.D.s first appear in this game. They try to hinder [[Wario]] on his quest for treasure on [[Kitchen Island]]. When they spot the treasure hunter, they will stop walking, hit their boomerangs on the ground three times and then throw it at Wario. If they happen to hit him, he will regress to a weaker form or even lose a life.

The D.D.s return in the sequel. Their attack pattern remains exactly the same as it has been in the previous game: Charging and then throwing their boomerangs at Wario. They are classified as heavy enemies in this game, meaning that Wario will slow down significantly when carrying one.

[[Defeat four Ducks!|Level 5-3]] of ''Wario Land II'' features a special type of D.D., although they are not stronger than regular D.D.s. In the Game Boy Color re-release, they're given a dark magenta color palette to indicate their special status; the Four Ducks look identical to regular D.D.s in the original Game Boy version.

D.D.s[1] (short for Dangerous Duck)[1] are enemies in the Wario Land series, appearing only in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and Wario Land II. D.D.s are anthropomorphic ducks, wearing striped bandanas and goggles, and members of Captain Syrup's pirate crew, the Black Sugar Gang. D.D. wield a boomerang as a weapon and have an attack pattern reminiscent to that of a Boomerang Brother. When a D.D. spots Wario, it will stop walking, swing its boomerang in its hand three times, and then throw it at Wario, damaging him if it hits him. D.D.s can be stunned and picked up, but since D.D.s are one of the heavier enemies, Wario is slowed as he moves around while carrying one.

D.D.s received some changes in Wario Land II, which made them and their boomerangs slightly smaller, and the latter spin faster. In the Game Boy Color version, they are usually given an orange, mint green, and dark blue palette, though four D.D.s in the level Defeat four ducks!, where Wario has to find and defeat four of them, were given a deep red, blue, and black color palette.

Additionally, in Wario Land II, an unlockable minigame titled Flagman D-D can be accessed after achieving a 100% completion rating. It features a D.D. as a host, along with a White puff and a Gugi.
