Someone who is part of a Discord Server, but rarely sends chats and NEVER joins the VC without mute and deafen on. These people are usually on for quite a while at a time, but you wont ever really see them interact.

Person 1: I've seen that guy on a lot, but never seen him talk.
Person 2: That's because he is a Discord Lurker

Uninformed individual: "What is a Lurkey? A lion and a turkey?"

Scientist: "Guess Again."

Uninformed individual:"A lemur and a turkey?"

Scientist: "No, it is actually a llama and a turkey."

Now informed individual: "Why is it called a Lurkey?"

Scientist: "The lion and lemur did not result in a successful hybrid. We tried"
