Sperm Whale

==Summary==
The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus)https://oceanwide-expeditions.com/to-do/wildlife/sperm-whale (Archived)https://seaworld.org/animals/facts/mammals/sperm-whale/ (Archived)https://www.britannica.com/animal/sperm-whale (Archived)https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/species/sperm-whale (Archived)https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/facts/sperm-whale (Archived) is the largest of the toothed whales and the largest toothed predator alive.https://www.whalefacts.org/sperm-whale-facts/ (Archived) The sperm whale is a pelagic mammal with a worldwide range, and will migrate seasonally for feeding and breeding. Females and young males live together in groups, while mature males (bulls) live solitary lives outside of the mating season. The females cooperate to protect and nurse their young.https://www.livescience.com/19632-sperm-whales-clans-orcas.html (Archived)
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: , higher via piercing damage
Name: Sperm whale, Physeter macrocephalus, cachalot
Origin: The Real Worldhttps://journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/205/12/1755/8959/The-face-that-sank-the-Essex-potential-function-of (Archived)
Gender: Varies (Can be either male or female)
Age: Varies (Lifespan up to 70 years)
Classification: Animal, vertebrate, mammal, cetacean, whale, toothed whale
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Large Size (Type 1), Natural Weaponry (18-20 cm (7.1-7.9 in) long teeth), Sound Manipulation (Sperm whale's echolocation mechanism can reach 230 decibels, the loudest sounds of any animal. Can potentially stun/kill prey with soundhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/2461008 (Archived)), Extrasensory Perception via echolocation, Underwater Breathing (Type 2), Resistance to Pressure (can reach depths of over 3000 m (1.9 mi (10,032 ft)), is one of the world's deepest diving marine mammals), Resistance to Cold (Can live in the same waters as the colossal squid or giant squid. Blubber keeps it insulated in cold environments)
Attack Potency: Wall level (Casually preys on colossal squids and giant squids. Can break the bones of killer whales if threatened. Bulls may use their strength & KE of 3.916957327 megajoules to ram each other & damage vessels 3-5 times their weight, can reach 179.8602854 kilojoules even if their collisions are accidental.), higher via piercing damage (It only has teeth on its lower jaw and tends to swallow its squid diet whole. However it should still be capable of causing piercing damage due to the relatively low surface area of its teeth.The reason why this is the case is because of pressure, force concentrated over a small area will lead to higher force per area, or pressure. Can remove fish from longline gear & can crush rowing boats in half with their jaws)
Speed: Superhuman (Can reach 28 mph at full speed, cruises at 3-9 mph (5-15 kph))
Lifting Strength: At least Class 50 (Able to overpower orcas rather easily, weighs around this range depending on the source.)
Striking Strength: Wall level
Durability: Wall level (Only slightly harmed by scratches from the colossal squid & can withstand harpoon woundshttps://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsbl.2021.0030 (Archived). Has spermaceti that allows it to withstand its rammings & can survive vessel strikes. A fatal injury for an animal of 39 tonnes needs to accelerate at 19.6 m/s, can withstand attacks & rammings from orcashttps://www.wired.com/2013/04/orca-v-sperm-whale/ (Archived).)
Stamina: Peak Human (Can maintain its top speed for an hour, can swim long distances being entangled in fishing gear & hold it's breath for several minutes)
Range: Extended Melee Range
Intelligence: Animalistic (Has the largest brain of any known animal, having a weight 5 times than that of the average human. Has an EQ of 0.56 for males & 1.28 for females.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/314239188_An_Unparalleled_Sexual_Dimorphism_of_Sperm_Whale_Encephalization (Archived) Can communicate information quickly & adapt new defensive tactics to new threats like ships.)
Weaknesses: Must surface for air, can't survive out of water,https://www.whalefacts.org/why-cant-whales-survive-on-land/ (Archived) relies on sound to communicate, may mistake marine debris as prey, & may get infections from splinters gained from charging at large vessels.
