==In the RPG ==
Whales are sea mammals. They can be summoned by a druid in aquatic or watery environments as a nature's ally.World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game, 345 Some varieties of these seagoing mammals are among the largest animals known. Relatively small whales (such as the orca) can be vicious predators, attacking virtually anything they detect. Whales can "see" by emitting high-frequency sounds, inaudible to most other creatures, that allow them to locate objects and creatures within 120 feet. A silence spell negates this and forces the whale to rely on its vision, which is approximately as good as a human's. A whale can hold its breath for a long time before it risks drowning.Monster Guide Web Supplement, 25 The tuskarr can point out every kind of whale imaginable and a few that may not be real, and they hunt all of them.Lands of Mystery, 93 Whales are considered a delicacy among magnataur, and those who are able to catch them frequently are highly respected.Lands of Mystery, 125
