PFS StandardOrca

While many know orcas as “killer whales,” they're actually the largest species of dolphin. These powerful animals hunt together in pods to take down seals, sharks, and even whales. Adult orcas are typically 15–25 feet long and weigh 8,000–12,000 pounds.

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 protect them from a shark attack. 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 warrants it!
