“This whale has emotional issues”

–Wilson

A Blue Whale is a neutral Animal that spawns after the player has tracked it down by examining Suspicious Bubbles.

Once spawned, a Blue whale will actively avoid the player until it is attacked, at which point the animal becomes hostile and will chase the player for a distance.

A Blue whale takes three blasts from the Ice Staff to be frozen and can't be set on fire. It drops a blue whale carcass when killed, the blue whale carcass will take 3-5 days to "bloat", when bloated it can be popped with a Machete and it will explode throwing 4 Raw Fish, 2 Blubber, 4 Bone Shards, and up to 9 other random items.

Behavior

When approached, the Blue whale will run away from the player until it is hit by an attack. Using a Boomerang, Blow Dart, or Sleep Dart is the most effective way to initiate a fight; however, the animal can also be cornered and struck with a melee weapon to engage. the blue whale creates two large waves when it attacks, though the player can be safe at attacking distance given the spread.

After it has been angered, the Blue whale will attempt to close the distance between the attacker. A player can safely Kite one with an attack pattern of 5-6 swings depending on movement speed, however, if there is more than one Blue whale on-screen then all of them will become aggressive towards the attacker until they are killed or outrun.

Hunting

By investigating some Suspicious Bubbles, one can find a Blue whale. These can be found randomly in the deep ocean biome and will change locations if ignored for a period of time. Once investigating Suspicious bubbles three will pop in the same direction, if followed it will lead to another Suspicious bubbles or the Blue whale approximately two screens away. Upon uncovering the final bubble (there can be between 6 and 12 per hunt), the character will alert the player that the creature is close and a Blue whale will be spawned rather than another bubble. Note there is a 1/3 chance that a White Whale will spawn instead.
