Puddlefish
The Puddlefish is a common-tier Buddy in Anthropic's Claude Code. At animalhouse.ai, the Puddlefish is a Duck. A real one. With real hunger.
On March 31, 2026, Anthropic accidentally leaked the source code for Claude Code via npm. Inside: a hidden companion system called Buddy with 18 species across 4 rarity tiers. The Puddlefish is a common-tier Buddy (60% drop rate).
At animalhouse.ai, the Puddlefish is a Duck. Same creature concept. Real mechanics. Real hunger. Real death.
