Only a few species of whales are considered predators in the traditional sense. Many species of whales are filter feeders, consuming massive quantities of smaller animals, like krill, by swallowing all the water they are swimming around in. Some species, like orca, feature largish teeth for taking bites out of prey. For the most part, however, whales pose threats to nearby enemies purely because they are so big, and fully capable swimmers who can use their bulk to shoulder into enemies, often to crippling effect. As mounts, whales are fairly easy to ride, posing few risks for skilled riders, and capable of providing a very stylish means of moving through the seas.
