Smite Evil (Su): Once per day, this creature can make a normal melee attack to deal +12 extra damage against an evil foe.
Blindsense (Ex): A whale notices and locates creatures within 120 feet. Opponents still have 100% concealment against a creature with blindsense.
Hold Breath (Ex): A whale can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 8 × its Constitution score before it risks drowning.
Skills: A whale has a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Listen checks. These bonuses are lost if its blindsense is negated. A whale has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always take 10 on a Swim check. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.
Celestial template: Applied to the base creature (see Celestial Creature). Animals and vermin become magical beasts; Intelligence is at least 3; darkvision 60 ft.; energy resistance, DR, and SR by Hit Dice; natural weapons count as magic for overcoming DR when the creature has DR.
The statistics presented here describe a plankton-feeding whale between 30 and 60 feet long, such as gray, humpback, and right whales.
