As an unexpected bonus, we have the darfellan in thsi entry.

OCEAN STRIDER
Ocean striders are strange fey creatures that protect the seas and oceans of both the World and the Feywild from would-be despoilers and sailors. These immense fey consider those that would plunder the depths and take their treasures to the land to be reprehensible barbarians.

Ocean striders resemble gigantic humanoids with a strong resemblance to killer whales. They are striking and tend to appear dramatically from the depths, sometimes offering sailors a chance to parlay before destroying their ships for whatever crimes they have committed.

Another, smaller race exists that is clearly closely tied to the ocean striders. Called darfellan, these strange, orca-like humanoids of fey origin are much less powerful than ocean striders, but often accompany them as lackeys.
