They are among the largest mundane creatures in the ocean (losing only to the [[basking shark]], [[whale shark]] and [[sperm whale]]), but are benign and will ignore [[dwarves]] even if they somehow get close to them. In the event an orca is forced to fight, it will defend itself with bites and tail slaps, which due to its massive size, can be particularly deadly. An infant orca is called an ''orca calf''. |
