**Learning Narwhal** is one of the Linkimals that was released in 2023.

## Physical Appearance

Learning Narwhal is a light teal narwhal. It has an off-white horn, black eyebrows, an open mouth that is a slightly darker shade of teal on the inside with a pink tongue visible and light up eyes. The narwhal's belly, eyes and horn all light up as it talks and sings. Below the narwhal's body are two buttons, both in the shape of fish. The left button is green and it has a music note printed in white, and the right button is orange and it has the white text "ABC" printed on it with the "AB" part above the "C".

Above the narwhal's left fin is a white button with three question marks printed in different shades of blue; the middle one's dot is a star. There are also light blue stars above the outer two question marks. Above this button is a window framed by "water drop" designs and triangles pointing to it.

The narwhal is accompanied by a large, orange wheel with different colored sections in teal, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, blue and green. These sections have either: a letter of the alphabet in the color of the section outlined in white below a picture of an animal or thing that starts with that letter, or two music notes in green and yellow with two white stars between them. The aforementioned window highlights one of these sections. There are 30 sections on the wheel in total, including the music note sections.

The narwhal is activated by either spinning the wheel, pushing the question marks button or pushing either fish button.

No matter how you activate it, its startup routine after it is turned on remains the same. The activation sound plays, and you have to wait a few seconds before the narwhal speaks or sings.

Spinning the wheel clockwise has the narwhal say first words, play sound effects or music. The selected letter would appear in the window as the narwhal says what picture is above the selected letter. Spinning the wheel counterclockwise has the narwhal say the letter printed on the section of the wheel. Turning the wheel to the music note sections has the narwhal make noises. Sometimes, the narwhal says a fact about the thing represented on the wheel. Occasionally, but not often, it will call out "Let's pretend!" and encourage the user to pretend to be whatever is pictured in the window (for example, if the narwhal's "letter selector" is set to the letter U it might tell you to neigh like a unicorn).

Pushing the button with the question marks on it initiates a "find the letter" game where the narwhal asks you to find a letter. It asks for either the letter or the picture. The narwhal congratulates you if you rotate the wheel to the correct letter.

Pushing the green fish button has the narwhal sing several songs, including a counting song that has two versions: one that counts to 10 and the other counts to 20, and they can be heard on different presses of the button. The narwhal sings the "counting to 10" version first, then after the second time of singing "Hello Friends" it sings the "counting to 20" version.

Pushing the orange fish button has the narwhal either sing "The Alphabet Song" or play an instrumental of "The Alphabet Song". Before it sings, it will say either "ABC, sing with me!" or "Come on, let's sing the ABCs!"

The box claims that it plays 135+ songs, sounds, tunes and phrases in total.

## Interactivity with Other Linkimals

Like the other Linkimals, Learning Narwhal can communicate with other Linkimals. It can sing "Hello Friends" and "Colorful Friends" with them, it can say phrases not heard when you play with it on its own, and you unlock the roll call sequence before "Hello Friends".

For a full list of Narwhal's interaction phrases, see here.

## Trivia

* According to this video, Learning Narwhal and A to Z Otter share the same radio signals, meaning that they introduce themselves at the same time during the "Hello Friends" roll call sequence, and sometimes Otter won't introduce himself if Narwhal starts the "Hello Friends" roll call sequence and vice versa.
