D&D 5E The Dolphin Delighter is a Teleporting, Telepathic Dolphin

WotC’s Crawford told Gizmodo about the mysterious ‘Dolphin Delighter’ — and while that name might suggest something else to some, it is in fact a new monster in Monsters of the Multiverse.

“One of the most delightful ones is the Dolphin Delighter—a fey dolphin. When I was putting together the dolphin page for this book, I realized dolphins in the game had often been associated with seals, which are also in the book along with other fey aquatic folk. We finally introduce a telepathic, teleporting fey dolphin!”

Fun fact, both I and James Wyatt had Dolphins as a playable PC race in our respective homebrews we had since being teenagers, with a tendency to be psionicists. (However, no one ever chose to try one in my games).
