Hydrurgan Orca

The Hydrurgan Orca is a very odd creature that was introduced to Zeima by scientists. It was sprited by LAG and was released July 26th, 2011. It can be found on the Tundra of Zeima.

Breed ID: Aquatic Mammal

Sprites and Descriptions
Alpha: This seal-like creature has a black and white pelt and has an aroma that reeks of fish.

Beta: The creature has grown larger, and bears some similarities to a whale. When it isn't eating, it's swimming to catch more food.

Delta: The creature has grown larger, and bears some similarities to a whale. When it isn't eating, it's swimming to catch more food. The seal-like creature doesn't seem to be showing any signs of stopping growth any time soon, and its appetite has grown even more voracious. It can stay underwater for hours at a time while hunting now.

Omega: The Hydrurgan Orca was created by scientists who spliced the genes of Orcas and Leopard Seals from Earth in order to navigate the waterways of Zeima. Unfortunately, the creatures were easily sidetracked by the allure of fish, and the project was abandoned. In the wild, they proved to be more than capable of taking care of themselves and have flourished in the years since their initial creation. They live in pods lead by an alpha female of up to ten females and their young - males tend to keep to themselves. Recently, Hydrurgan Orcas have been used for the domestic purposes of locating large schools of fish, lowering the cost of the food in the market considerably.

Additional Information
Size: Males 20 ft. Females 20 ft. Alpha Female 20-25 ft.

Uses: Hydrurgans are hunted for their fur and meat but many hunters fear them because they have known to destroy boats when disturbed or angered.

The Hydrurgan Orca is not a creature native to the Nyokan solar system, but was instead created to more easily navigate the waterways of the solar system. In order to create this new species, the DNA of Orcas from Earth and of several different seals were spliced; unfortunately, these creatures were more interested in eating fish than providing new sources of transportation and the project of creating them was quickly abandoned. Hydrurgan Orcas proved to be more than capable on their own, however, and have thrived in the years since their initial creation. They inhabit every ocean in Zeima, and some have been known to appear in the rivers of the planet (although they are quickly turned back to sea before they've fully grown). These creatures live in pods of up to ten females and their young, while the males keep to themselves. Recently, Hydrurgan Orcas have been used for the domestic purposes of locating large schools of fish, lowering the cost of the food in the market considerably. - Drakkon
