Ferocity (ex) - When the Whale reaches 0 hp and is dying, it remains conscious, though it is staggered. It continues to make saves and take constitution damage until it stabilizes.
Power Attack (ex) - A Whale may choose to take a penalty to its attack roll (up to -5). For each point of penalty, the Whale does one extra point of damage. The Whale must decide to use power attack at the beginning of its turn and it applies to all attack made until the start of its next turn.
Endurance (ex) - Creatures with endurance gain advantage on endurance-related saves and check.
Hold Breath (ex) - A Whale can hold its breath for 4 times its Con score before it risks drowning.
Capsize (ex) - Creatures with capsize can capsize a ship by ramming it as a charge attack and making an Athletics check (DC 25). For each size category the ship is larger than the Whale's size, the Whale takes a cumulative -10 penalty on this check.

This immense whale moves slowly through the water with a grace that seems incongruous, given its immense size.
Whales are frequently hunted for their meat and the valuable oil in their blubber. Baleen whales have no teeth and attack with a tail slap; toothed whales like sperm whales instead attack with a bite. Whale companions are smaller species- rules for such companions are the same as those for orcas (see page 88 of the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary.)
