Dolphin

The Dolphin is a playable creature in Feed and Grow: Fish, it costs 60 coins to spawn as and has 3 skins from the start. One of them resembles a Bottlenose Dolphin (main skin), another resembles a Common Dolphin, and the third one resembles a Hector's Dolphin. The Dolphin is possibly the smallest Cetacean in Feed And Grow: Fish. As a mammal, the Dolphin must come up to the surface for air every so often. They are fast-moving and agile predators that will hunt in packs to attack prey.

## Appearance

### Bottlenose Dolphin

The Dolphin is generally a small animal compared to its larger cetacean relatives. Its coloration generally displays lighter shades of grey, with a darker topside and slight countershading towards the underside. As its name implies, the animal has a short, bottle-shaped beak, a singular blowhole, and a countershaded lower jaw, which does not display any visible teeth when closed. It has a robust, hydrodynamic body with two large pectoral fins, a tapered tail shape, and a singular, falcate dorsal fin set ever so slightly towards the frontal region near the head, as seen with most dolphins in the real world.

### Common Dolphin

Possessing similar characteristics as the Bottlenose Dolphin, the Common Dolphin's 3D mold is identical to that of the Bottlenose, yet its texture is significantly different. As seen with its real-life counterpart, the Common Dolphin has a tannish-beige and white hourglass pattern along each side of its body, a whitish underside, and a blackened dorsal side ranging from the beak all the way to the tail fluke, showing countershading. Additionally, the animal's pectoral fins and the edges of the falcate dorsal fin are black in color, however there seems to be a greyish patch on the dorsal fin. Its eyes are encircled by a ring of whitish coloration, seen on each eye.

### Hector's Dolphin

Although similar in appearance to the previous two, the Hector's Dolphin does indeed have some different physical features, both in shape and coloration. The dolphin's pectoral fins are smaller and its dorsal fin is triangular rather than falcate, and it has a larger forehead and a significantly shorter, yet noticeable beak. It is mostly light grey in color, especially on the dorsal side, with darker grey markings around the face, blowhole, and sides of the body. Like with most marine mammals, the Hector's Dolphin's countershading is shown by its darker top and whitish underside.

## Trivia

* In real life, the Hector's Dolphin's dorsal and pectoral fins are rounded instead of pointed or triangular like in the game.
* The ability Ultrasonic Bang

## Behavior

Dolphins will swim around in a pod of up to 4 individuals, they will hunt small fish together. Dolphins are neutral, but will attack if you're small enough.They will use their ultrasonic bang ability on creatures like Sardines and Knightia, this ability does not affect larger creatures. If outmatched, they'll try and flee.
