Epik Duck
Published July 27, 2026
Epik Duck is a five-story-tall rubber duck that Roblox added to the game on April 1st, 2009 as an April Fools' Day gag. It grew into a recognized Roblox in-joke tied to the LOLspeak phrase 'TEH EPIK DUCK IS COMING!!!,' then resurged on Twitter in 2021 and 2022 through a self-replicating tweet before inspiring a Solana meme coin.
Overview
Epik Duck, a giant yellow rubber duck character that first showed up inside Roblox as part of the platform's April Fools' Day event in 20091. The duck is stylized as a plain bathtub toy scaled to about five stories tall, and it is tied to a LOLspeak catchphrase that Roblox later baked into the game as the quick-chat option 'TEH EPIK DUCK IS COMING!!!'1.
Over the years the duck grew from a one-day joke into a lasting Roblox in-joke, with builders dropping the prop into their own places and Roblox itself dripping out duck-themed hats and accessories1. Outside of Roblox, the meme is best known for the all-caps phrase, which has been used on Twitter as a copypasta-style warning that the duck is imminent2.
