Hit: 25 (3d12 + 5) bludgeoning damage. Captivating Song. The whale sings an entrancing melody. Each creature within a 60-foot radius of the singing whale must make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is charmed by the singing whale and remains so for as long as the whale continues to sing. If a creature’s saving throw is successful, that creature is immune to the singing whale’s Captivating Song for 24 hours. Creatures with an Intelligence score of 3 or less aren’t affected by the singing whale’s Captivating Song. A creature does not need to understand the singing whale in order to be affected, but it must be able to hear it.

Singing whales are rare and elusive creatures with the power of human speech and a talent for song. It is said that they wish only to bring joy to the hearts of others with their majestic performances. Alas, more than one singing whale has been laid low in the mistaken belief that its songs were sung by a bard trapped in the creature’s stomach.
