Description
Hold Breath (Ex) Narwhals are expert deep divers, and a narwhal can hold its breath a number of minutes equal to 2 times its Constitution score.
Tusk (Ex) A charging narwhal can make a single gore attack with its tusk in place of its normal bite attack. If it hits, the tusk deals 2d6+14 points of damage with a ×3 critical multiplier.
Narwhals are skilled hunters in arctic waters, and are known to dive deeper than even much larger cetaceans both in open water and beneath thick sheets of floating ice. A male narwhal possesses a single, 6-foot-long tusk extending from just above its mouth, which it uses to impress females during mating season, engaging in flashy duels with other males. In times of need, the tusks may be used to break through thick ice or even in self-defense, though most narwhals prefer to flee rather than fight. A typical narwhal is about 14 feet long (not including the tusk) and weighs 3,200 pounds.
