Recent studies of them hunting as packs in Antarctic waters show them not only using the sort of tactical teamwork you'd expect from such intelligent creatures, but actually weaponising the fluid dynamics of the water they're swimming in.When going after a seal that's taken shelter on an ice floe, orcas will swim in close synchronisation beneath the floe, and work together to create pressure waves that shatter the ice, whittling away the seal's protection and possibly throwing it into the water. Against a swimming foe, they can use those pressure waves to batter and exhaust it.Now, imagine statting up D&D orca packs that can band together to create the underwater equivalent of a sonic attack to batter opponents.</blockquote>
