A '''decoy''' is any thing, or any [[person]], which someone employs to [[deceive]] another person, or an animal, about the [[environment]] or the whereabouts of a person in the environment.
Decoys are standard practice in [[hunting]] and [[fishing]].
In the [[motion picture]] industry, actors and their directors use decoys often. They particularly use them when the character must perform a dangerous action, or ''stunt''. Beyond that, several actors used decoys not only during filming but also to cover for them at public events.
Many famous general officers and dictators have used decoys. Among them:
* [[Field Marshal]] [[Bernard Montgomery|Bernard "Monty" Montgomery]], British Army
* [[Adolf Hitler]]
* [[Josef Stalin]]
