Trivia

According to Vincent Perea who is an artist of the game, this duck takes on a purple appearance to fit Cranky's theme of "tough, dark and evil".
While full, Cranky Ducks are are purple, and Swampy Ducks are yellow. Yellow and Purple are complementary (opposite) colours, which is fitting since Swampy's and Cranky's personalities are quite "opposite".
Cranky Ducks are green when empty, and are purple when full. This may likely be based off the fact that green is inverse of purple.
