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!”

Maybe it's just me, but "Dolphin Delighter" sounds like something that delights dolphins. "Delighter Dolphin" sounds more like a dolphin that delights. Either way, I'm scratching my head.

That, that..............just makes it even worse.

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).

The Blue Rose 5E Adventurers Guide also gives you an option for Playable Psychic Dolphins too.

Well...I was just working on a new creature called ''Manatee Pleasurer'', so I guess I can give up and use this stat block! Thanks, WotC!

So close to letting me make Ecco references, but, so far.

If only they were flying psychic dolphins. Or could hurt things with sonar. Or fought aliens.

It’s D&D, so properly it should be Dolphin of Delighting.

Just give the a few class levels. If it's CR 1/2 it will be eligible for sidekick rules.
