Devil Whale

The Devilwhale is the largest known leviathan on Orbis. ? Though elusive and rarely seen, it is one of the Grydon seas most treasured creatures for it's size and monstrous appearance. ? Unlike the Grydonfish, however, Devilwhales do not attack nearly as often, unless provoked.

Trailing Ships
On the rare occasions a Devilwhale is spotted, sailors have noted it will trail alongside a ship for up for two days. ? Why they do this is unknown, though it was said in it's first sighting it was a devil trying to sway the sailors from their destination, thus named 'Devilwhale.'  Despite this

Hunting
Since Devil Whales carry a host of strange physical properties, hunting of these creatures has been the occupation of rogue hunters who sell their skins, bones, blood, and body oils to a host of clients involved in fringe sciences, including Necromancy. Since the Devilwhale is notoriously difficult to kill, it is left to veteran sailors to track and hunt and bring back to the mainland.

The primary method finding the Devilwhale is by mounting a Grydonfish head at the helm of their ship. Since Grydonfish are natural enemies, it can attract the Devilwhale from below looking for a meal, to surface.

Smuggling
Because of the extreme nature of killing a Devilwhale, hunters have also proven themselves cunning smugglers of the materials. The host of properties devil whales are only used in illegal practices by humans, and therefore the buying and selling of the creatures is illegal.



Uses
Devilwhales are used for a variety of fringe sciences, including Necromancy, Pyromancy, and Aquamance.
