At 300-600 pounds for a big specimen, they're no match for a multi-ton sperm whale.Still, I like the idea of cachalot whales engaging in terrible battles to the death with giant squid, so to give them a fighting chance against the SRD monster version the whales need a considerable boost in strength. Which they deserve anyway, since the SRD version is barely tougher than an elephant and does a lot less damage to boot!</blockquote>
