Hello! I'm new here, I hope this is the right place to ask a question!

I was wondering, are there any Faerun specific types of whales? I was also wondering if there was a Faerunian name for what we call in the Real World "orca whales"?

Thank you very much!

Apparently, the Realms also have whales that are not truly whales.
True. But they're listed under the section on "Whales" in SoFS, so...

What was the creature that Iakhovas burrowed through the blow-hole of in the Threat from the Sea trilogy?

Welcome to the 'Keep, Acolyte Thirteen!

There are whales in Faerun, but I heard nor read nothing about 'specific types.'
