Hybrid Battle
Orcail
A hybrid of Snail + orca

The Orcail measures approximately 10 feet in length, with a smooth, dark-blue skin resembling that of an orca, adorned with white patches that mimic the orca's markings. Its shell, a prominent feature, spirals gracefully from its back, providing both protection and buoyancy in the water. The creature possesses large, expressive eyes and flippers that enable it to glide through the ocean with grace.
