I forget which book it was, but I remember there were whales in one of the books and they were described as "bigger than the blinkin' abbey!". It always fascinated me, the size difference of a mouse/hare/squirrel etc. and whale and what would happen if one attacked a ship, or better yet, an entire fleet!  :o  However the whales were only in one book :'(

What are your thoughts on them?

As far as I can remember, they're only mentioned in the Pearls of Lutra.
Received mostly negative reviews.

I thought it was sea lions. Huh, don't remember whales, but yeah, they would be bigger than the Abbey. It'd be like Cluny's horse all over again, an awesome game-changing power if someone were to control it.

Pearls of Lutra, yep. ;D I have always loved that scene. Every time I read it, I want to paint it. I'd like to see a whale communicate with one of the characters, but it seems unlikely given the.... size, I guess. XD

A remember a Martin the Warrior talking about how big the whales are, but I don't remember if it was the original Martin from Legend of Luke, or Martin II from Pearl of Lutra.

Hey, is it just me or should this go in the character discussion?

I'm not sure if it has to because the whales don't have a significant character part in the story. They aren't even named

-Sometime later, the second mate was unexpectedly rescued by the subplot, which had been trailing a bit behind the boat (and the plot). The whole story moved along.

I've heard Whalelord as a whale name before, not sure where it's from.

How about Willy?

I googled it, it's from pokemon! Wailord, though, so a bit different!

Pokemon! Hahaha! That's the perfect place to look for animal names, now you mention it. I am now picturing a Redwall whale named Magicarp.  ;D

when I read that part this is what I thought

I want the world of Tolkien,
The message of Lewis;
The adventure of Jacques,
And the heart of Milne.
But I want the originality of me.
