Killer whale

Killer whales, also known as orcas, were relatively small whales that were vicious marine predators.

Description
Killer whales used their echolocation by emitting high-pitched sound to detect objects and other creatures. This ability did not work if the whale's hearing were to be impaired or if its detecting area was under the effect of a silence spell.

Behavior
Orcas were typically vicious predators that attacked anything within their range of detection.

Combat
The main weapons killer whales used in combat were their powerful bites.

Ecology
Killer whales usually hunted fish, seals, squids, and other whales.

Orcas were also commonly found in the temperate latitudes of Karpri. Whales native to that planet were unusually calm and graceful, which caused them to be heavily hunted by outsiders.
