Bottlenose Dolphin
The bottlenose dolphin is the most common and widespread species of dolphin. They are social predators who hunt shallow seas and rivers in large family groups called pods. Sailors are fond of bottlenose dolphins and frequently tell tales of how they save drowning fishers or kill sharks with blows from their powerful snouts.

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