Friendly and gregarious, the Carcafantor (Q."Tooth Whales", "Orcas") hunted seals along the coasts. Like sharks, they might mistake a man in the water for a large seal and attack.
Orcas of the Bay of Forochel[]
The Ystävät Talven hunted all types of whales in the Bay of Forochel with the exception of the killer whale. These they considered sacred, believing them to be the spirits of departed ancestors (especially those of drowned whalers and fishermen). To avoid conflict with the locals, the Cardolanian whalers did not hunt the killer whale (or did so well out of sight of the Ystävät Talven).
