There is an obvious answer to this . Delecti may have started as a vampire but has done Heroquesting . Heroquesting gives unique powers to individuals among other things and there is no rule against non-humans heroquesting . He has picked up some additional abilities along the way .
What are the main clans of the ducks ?
Swanson, Banquet , Freezer Queen , and Budget Gourmet
