Line 114:
* One early RPG inspired by Niven's [[Known Space]] novels had omitted rules for dolphin characters, but an article in ''Dragon'' corrected that, introducing such necessities as water-filled space suits and strap-on robotic arms.
* Some editions of ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' have depicted dolphins as sentient Good-aligned creatures with their own patron goddess.
** Some [[Space Whale]]s in ''[[Spelljammer]]'' (Delphinids and Great Dreamers).
** ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' has a lot of cetaceans in the Sea of Fallen Stars sentient (many of them spellcasting - bard type magic works just fine with whalesong) or semisentient; most of the rest are domesticated by underwater races. Also, gods often have their own uses for sentient whales. The Earthmother even keeps a Leviathan as her powered-up (and beefed up, above and beyond their "usual" enormous size) divine minion.
