Take that Image, replace it's finds with arms, and add feet sprouting out above the tail.
Then you've got it.

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).

I'm not your average Bay12er. I care about my drunken midgets.

Bay12 doesn't have moral event horizons, it has goals.

Frisian, can you please give me the song those lyrics are from? It sounded like one heck of a rock ballad in my "ears".

Are they whale sized then?

That would be terrifying.

Yes, they're whale sized and awesome. That pic is too. I'm currently watching a bunch of them fight a bronze colossus in arena, armed only with wooden pikes and shields. Lots of bronze toes everywhere.

Edit: So the whalemen, 3 in total with proficient relevant fighting skills, pine pikes and shields eventually lost, not before giving the bronze colossus an entire screen worth of injuries though with all its body parts except the right leg in the yellow. Still, I'm thinking they'd make a good hostile civilization. Sad that they airdrown.

That's a disturbing comic, true though...

Why do whales airdrown? They're mammals, although I guess toady couldn't simulate organ collapse due to being outside their supportive medium and dehydration.

They could be useful in dwarf mode to secure moats from trolls.

That would likely be the reason. Same way as sponges drown - the concept of drowning is completely meaningless for them since they don't even have circulation, but there you go.

On the other hand, zombified or enthralled, they can probably walk the earth quite well. I wonder if there are werewhales.

I'm never going to embark near an evil ocean, zombie elephants are bad enough, but the idea of facing something the size of a bronze colossus, or even a group of them is a bit much..... then again the weaponisation potential would be amazing if you could cage one.....

To the zombie oceans!
