In most media, especially most fiction, dolphins are portrayed as playful creatures, who will easily befriend humans and like to play around in the water with them. In real life, the extent of this varies. Tame dolphins are usually trained to be like this, and stories of friendly behaviour by wild dolphins abound and predate dolphin training. However, random wild dolphins are often as hard to predict as a random human stranger, and like any other animal, they can be dangerous. Experts recommend keeping your distance from them. Sometimes overlaps with Heroic Dolphin, or Sapient Cetaceans, or both. Compare Sweet Seal, Playful Otter, and Warm-Hearted Walrus for other friendly sea mammals. Contrast with Devious Dolphins. |

There are a number of instances of orcas (which are a species of dolphin) behaving friendly and playfully toward humans. One notable example is Keiko, the orca who starred in Free Willy. Even after he was released to the wild, he was very friendly toward humans, and even let children ride on his back. Unfortunately, this meant that he failed to fully adapt back to the wild and died at the age of 27. Despite this, captive orcas can still be dangerous animals if maltreated. Tilikum, for example, has killed three people while in captivity. He is believed to have been severely traumatized by his capture at the age of 1 and by the early years of his captivity, which he never fully recovered from. Ironically two of these deaths were caused because he wanted to play with humans, but did not know that they were easily breakable and couldn't survive long underwater. The exact circumstances of one of the deaths is unknown, because the victim had covertly stayed in the park after it closed and then snuck past the guards to swim with the orcas. It's also possible that in the first instance he wasn't trying to play, but to defend the two other whales in the tank (who unknown to the trainers were both pregnant). |

Animorphs: The series portrays the dolphin mind as inherently joyous and playful. The gang sometimes have trouble getting control over the morph for a few minutes because of this, although they still enjoy using it. This even becomes a bit of a plot point in the final book of the series — Jake is suffering from some pretty heavy PTSD, so his friends trick him into morphing a dolphin as a kind of intervention. |

The Ultra Series managed to have a dolphin kaiju in its massive menagerie of different monsters, that being Leilons the dolphin monster from Ultraman Tiga. Like most monsters, Leilons merely attack human facilities in search for food and nesting ground, and the penultimate battle between Ultraman Tiga and Leilons is more slapstick than threatening, what with Leilons trolling Tiga by squirting water on the Ultra's face, and then humping the Ultra with its bubble-like stomach while cackling all the way. | |

The Endless Ocean games naturally feature dolphins and larger cetaceans from various locations. You can befriend certain dolphins. Endless Ocean Blue World allows much more interaction with dolphins. You can tame them and take them with you on dives, where they can tow you faster than you can swim and help find items. You can also teach them to do tricks and put on shows at your island. You tame two species during the story and can tame more with sidequests later. This game is also somewhat notable for simply having dolphins other than Bottlenose dolphins. |

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this trope is why dolphins are a Superior Species — while humans went around having wars and inventing the wheel, dolphins just splashed about in the water having a good time. Their final message to humanitynote So long, and thanks for all the fish was misinterpreted as 'a sophisticated attempt to jump through a hoop while whistling The Star-Spangled Banner'. | |

Minecraft populates its oceans with pods of dolphins, which are passive mobs that like playing around with any dropped items, bestow a nearby player with a swim speed buff, and can lead them to treasure if fed with fish. Attack one, though, and the whole pod descends on you. | |

The Dolphins of Pern, part of the Dragonriders of Pern series, is about a group of people discovering the fact that "shipfish" are actually genetically engineered dolphinsnote They had been enhanced to have speech capabilities, as well as near-human intelligence who had been brought to Pern as colonists. They are hard workers when it's something they consider important, but otherwise they are carefree and love to play with each other and humans. | |
