Sperm Whale

Sperm whales are the most powerful hunters amongt the whales, and travel in pods of 3 to a dozen individuals. Although they hunt any prey smaller than them, they have a special appetite for smaller krakens and other soft bodied creatures of the deed.   Despite their ferocity, they are the favored target of whalers because of the oil contained in their massive heads, which produces a bright, white, smokeless flame.   The whales are not helpless, however, and often breach the water to capsize whaleing vessels or simply ram the hull. Many ships have been lost this way.
