Whalesteed

Whalesteeds were first tamed in the Shackles as part of an ambush between rival pirate captains. Whalesteed riders are still an unusual sight, as learning to master the skill takes years of training.

Dolphins encompass a wide range of aquatic mammals, all of which are quite social, intelligent, and widespread through the world’s oceans.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Dolphins to the Rescue

Dolphins have a somewhat unusual trait—they often come to the aid of other creatures in distress, such as to save a drowning person or to protect someone from the attack of a shark. Not every monster in this book wants to hurt player characters— consider having a dolphin come to an endangered PC's rescue if the situation merits!
