''"The following information is brought to you by SpaceKelp, just as good as EarthKelp, but you don't need to import it from 2 million light years away!" ''

The Mallards are a race of anthropomorphic ducks that reside in the Andromeda Galaxy. They don't score so high on the Kardashev scale (though over 1) and are moderately advanced, however, their culture has lagged behind to a level similar to Earth's Edwardian age.

Mallards are about 2 metres (6 feet) tall but being similar to birds are very light, only 35-40kg (77-88 pounds), though they cannot fly as they don't have wings.
