## General Information

The murderwhale has a black main body with a white belly and a white marking close to its eye. This creature shows a advanced social behaviour, able to even teach hunting strategies and language to their younglings. This behaviour gives them the ability to create own cultures different to other "tribes" of murderwhales, some even showing visual differences.

Murderwhales are very common in oceans, but rare in tropic climates. Their hunting behaviour and even their eating habits are different from tribe to tribe. Some prefer to hunt other mammals, some like to hunt mostly at coasts for fish and some stay far away from coasts. They are known to eat over 140 different species. Most famous, other joywhales and sharks. Which is why they are one of the most dangerous enemies in Bloodbite Predator.

Their tribes usually stay away from each other, as cultures and language seems to be different. On planets with civilisation, they can be seen being more aggressive compared to their completely free counterparts. There also has been confirmed bloodbite behaviours from them. Especially the ones in captivity.

The UC has mixed relationships with them. They completely ignore UC influence in Bloodbite Predator, however they are really aggressive towards the player. The UC holds them in captivity for public shows, which has been confirmed, to be harmful to them.

## Appearance in Adventures

### Bloodbite Predator

The murderwhale is featured in all 3 Bloodbite Predator adventures. It plays the role of the apex predator in the Bexley Bay city canals and are commonly found around the AquaLife arena. They are equally hostile towards all 3 sharks and attack them when they see the player in range.

Although being a smart creature, it risks to hunt even the Gigalodon. Still being a big threat to it. If trying to kill one, it's recommended to stun them first, to prevent it from dealing damage to the player shark. It's harder to kill with the Great Grey and as good as impossible with the Speedtail.

## Quotes

> *"Murderwhale is quite a unfitting name for a whale this doofy looking. But UC citizens don't care. They exploit Murderwhales for useless entertainment in cramped show areas behind bars. Oh yeah, and they actively hunt sharks. I've also never seen a free Murderwhale since Willie left CRASH."*

## Trivia

* The murderwhale is based on the Killer whale.
* The name is directly translated from its german nickname "Mörderwal".
* The Speedtail quote is refering to Orcas being closer related to dolphins than true whales.
* The quote from the Gigalodon adventure refers to CRASH user Willie5000 (known for creating the Zeeps) who left the community. Coincidentally it left room for a "Free Willy" joke.
