A kuikka (black-throated loon) is a type of waterfowl in the UnReal World.
One of the cultures, the Kuikka-Tribe, takes its name after this bird.
URW Game Encyclopedia description
The official URW in-game encyclopedia (accessed by the F1 key) describes the kuikka thusly:
The Kuikka is a rather large aquatic bird named after its' distinctive call. Their far-carrying and haunting "kwee-kow" call is typically heard in early summer by many kuikka inhabitated lakes.
Kuikkas have dark backs with white markings. There's dark grey colouring on the head and the back of their thick neck. Their underparts are mainly white. Their sturdy and pointy beaks are dark and their irises are red.
The Kuikka breeds throughout Unreal World by wilderness lakes with clear water. It eats fish, typically perch and roach. People commonly appreciate and respect kuikkas, but they are especially sacred for the Kuikka-tribe.
Kuikkas are migratory birds, leaving quite early in autumn and returning in spring.
