Dire Orcas look like larger and more feral version of the killer whale or Orca. It has severeal bony growths along the top of its head and down it's back. The purpose of these growths are not known, but they're not used as a weapon. The Dire Orcas eyes are a deep yellow or red.
Combat:
Dire Orcas are immensely agressive, and attack anything that enters their territory, no matter if it's a small boat or a massive aquatic dragon. Even other Dire Orcas occassionally fall prey to this massive beasts agressiveness.
Blindsight (Ex): Whales can "see" by emitting high-frequency sounds, inaudible to most other creatures, that allow them to locate objects and creatures wwithin 120'. A silence spell negates this and forces the whale to rely on it's vision, which is approximatly as good as a humans.
Leap (Ex): By taking a full charge from beneath the waters, a Dire Orca can jump roughly 200' straight into the air and crash down with tremendous force, anyone caught beneath the Dire Orca as it crashes back down, must make a reflex save (DC 17) or take 4d6+24 points of bludgeoning damage. The whale itself takes half this amount. Dire Orcas often use this attack form to break apart ships.
Skills: Whales get a +4 racial bonus to Listen and Spot checks.
