| - <default>Sperm Whale</default> Species: Type: Length: What it looks like: Location (EO) Location (EO2) Time Forms The Sperm Whale is the largest predator alive today, and one of the largest predatory animals in history. It is also the creature with the largest head in comparison to body size, competing with the now extinct Torosaurs.
- A sperm whale is a type of whale that is common in the oceans of Earth. Aquaman once called on the help of a sperm whale to help free him from being tied to a submarine. A sperm whale aided in the search of Marvin White and Wendy Harris when they were aboard Doctor Thinkwik's tugboat.
- Sperm Whale is the first largest of all toothed whales.
- This sperm whale raced to the rescue of Aquaman, after he had sent a telepathic S.O.S. miles around, because he was tied to a submarine by steel cables.
- The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) was a large cetacean, a whale, indigenous to planet Earth. Unlike baleen whales, sperm whales had teeth which they used to catch giant squid thousands of feet down in the sea. (TOS movie & novelization: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) Humans once hunted sperm whales for their meat, blubber and ambergris. (TOS movie: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; TAS episode: "The Ambergris Element") In the novel Moby Dick by Herman Melville, Moby Dick was a white sperm whale. (TOS novelization: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
- The Sperm Whale is the largest of the toothed whales. Sperm whales have a huge head - up to one-third the length of the body - which houses the spermaceti, a light oily fat that is believed to aid the animal in sending a directional beam of echolocation clicks from its snout. Below the head is a relatively small and thin lower jaw, which contains a set of cone-shaped teeth that fit into sockets in the upper jaw. The bodies of Sperm Whales are laterally compressed, with a single blowhole on the left front of the head and a thick dorsal hump originating at the hindmost third of the body. Use this creature's tremendous size to your advantage, but be careful - it's also very expensive. All Sperm Whale attributes and abilities are above average, with extremely high health and a very high attack
- A bull can grow to 27.5 metres (90 ft) long. It is the largest living toothed animal. The head can take up to one-third of the animal's length. It has a cosmopolitan distribution across the oceans. The species feeds on squid and fish, diving as deep as 3 kilometres (9,800 ft), which makes it the deepest diving mammal. Its diet includes giant squid and colossal squid. The sperm whale's clicking vocalization is the loudest sound produced by any animal, but its functions are uncertain. These whales live in groups called pods. Pods of females and their young live separately from older males. The females cooperate to protect and nurse their young. Females give birth every three to six years, and care for the calves for more than a decade.
- The sperm whale created a concretion in its intestines known as ambergris that was once used to stabilize the scent of perfumes. (TAS: "The Ambergris Element") The sperm whale devoured millions of cuttlefish as it prowled the ocean. Captain Jean-Luc Picard once compared this characteristic of the whale with the Crystalline Entity. (TNG: "Silicon Avatar" ) When Spock tried to match the sound of the Whale Probe to the sound of an Earth animal aboard the Klingon Bird-of-Prey HMS Bounty, a sperm whale was one of the animals shown.
