Space Whale	comment	Space Is an Ocean. This is a well-known phenomenon. For some reason, though, the ocean of space is pretty much devoid of fish. But not of whales. Somehow, at some point (probably in the 1970s), the ideas of space and whales became permanently interwoven in the collective unconscious. Why? No one really knows, but here is some wild speculation: In 1971, scientists aroused interest in whalesong, which is sufficiently eerie and psychedelic. It's an otherworldly sound that combines well with visuals of galaxies and false-color nebulae. Space and whales also made great blacklight posters. They are already really big, so why not scale up? Pictures from the deep ocean also look kind of like space. Or at least something you could describe as "alien". Space Is an Ocean, after all. It would be a damn shame not to have gigantic creatures making endless voyages through the void, wouldn't it? Whales become even more interesting when they are Recycled In Space. An excuse to do a Moby Schtick without looking archaic or unsympathetic to actual whales. Rule of Cool. Copious amounts of LSD and cannabis while gazing at their big whale posters using a black light. And in 1979, this made its debut on the radio. It later became a stage play, an LP record, a TV show, several computer games and a movie. All of which featured a whale in an untenable ecological niche. But nevermind the whys and wherefores, space and whales are just two great tastes that taste great together. In some cases, the whale may be used as a Living Ship by smaller hitchhikers. Often, these whales will be capable of Shipless Faster-Than-Light Travel in order to cross the enormous distance they travel across. A planet-bound variant of the Space Whale is the Air Whale, which is often a Living Gasbag and found in settings where The Sky Is an Ocean. Whales are basically shaped like blimps with fins anyway, so it makes visual sense. (That is, if you hate gravity, and really, who doesn't?) See also Sapient Cetaceans and Flying Seafood Special. See also Life in Zero G, for other forms of life adapted for permanent gravity-less environments. Compare Sand Worm, another common, large creature found across many fictional galaxies. Not to be confused with the Space Whale Aesop, which is something quite different.

Space Whale / int_1367cea0	comment	Worm: The Entities are planet-sized creatures that exist across multiple dimensions. They are the source of superpowers and are glimpsed only briefly when parahumans trigger. As learned late in the story, the Entities consider all other lifeforms as tools for experimentation and ultimately destroy every world they visit across every dimension as part of their reproductive cycle.

When attacking, though, they reveal that they have far too many legs for a regular cetacean. They're also relatively peaceful, but very grumpy animals with a strict sense of personal space; a group of Cantankeri is to be officially known as a "disgruntlement", and an angry one will start ramming any offending locomotives at high speeds until they go away or explode.

The goal was not reached, but various references to the whales are present throughout. When body pillows of the characters started going into production, a vote was held to see who deserved to be on the next print. The Space Whale took a considerable portion of the vote.

You haven't lived until you've seen a whale doing a high-speed close-orbit approach of a planet to free its ancestor's soul from a citadel of evil. During that storyline, Storm actually merged with one of the Acanti, as an alternative to either committing suicide or transforming into one of The Brood after being implanted with a Brood egg. Fortunately, the X-Men and Starjammers were able to free the Acanti from slavery, and the whales' thankful shaman (yes, a giant whale sorcerer) magically purged the Brood eggs from the mutants' bodies.

Besides, the sequence's titular song, by Ottorino Resphigi, is so majestic we can pretty much not care about that. Treasure Planet features a scene where the main characters watch giant space-whales float by their ship. Dr. Doppler gives their scientific name as Orcus galacticus.

Space Whale / int_353bdeb0	comment	Humanx Commonwealth: In the future, mankind decides to save the last survivors of the cetacean species of Earth (whales, dolphins, orcas) and transplant them to a planet almost completely covered by oceans which has no native sentient species (or so they thought, because they didn't look deep enough in the oceans). The cetaceans prospered, on a world that belongs to them and on which humans and thranx are only allowed as traders and researchers. By the time of the novel Cachalot, all the cetaceans are sapient to some degree, with the toothed whales more so than the baleen whales (either due to evolution or genetic Uplifting done prior to the whale diaspora or shortly afterwards, it's not entirely clear). Some species of toothed whales have even grown more intelligent than humans and live for hundreds of years since they are no longer hunted. The book ends with the revelation that these whales have developed psionic powers like telekinesis and telepathy (since they have no hands and thus a civilizations based on song, not artifacts and tools), and with the help of these powers they can levitate their bodies from the water and travel into space.

Space Whale / int_45705e72	comment	In the second half of Star Trek Log Eight, the Enterprise has to travel into intergalactic space in search of a gigantic creature called a jawanda. They find one without too much trouble, and also find that it's basically a spacegoing bedsheet, with a surface area roughly equivalent to that of North America but only millimeters thick. After capturing it using a cage made of moons - no, not moon-rock, moons - they head for home. The captured jawanda sends out a distress call to others of its kind, and several of them respond, but the Enterprise is able to reach safety before they overtake it. At that point the Enterprise crew learns why jawandas only live in intergalactic space: they need the room. The ship's sensors reveal that the largest of the pursuing jawandas had a surface area larger than Earth's Sun. And it probably isn't the largest one out there.

Space Whale / int_513f5832	comment	Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home doesn't have whales floating through the void, but implies that they have a strong connection with space when the probe blasts weaponized frequency-shifted humpback whalesong into the depths of space. It's explained that the reason for the probe using whalesong is because the last time it visited the Earth, humans had not yet evolved and whales were the most intelligent organisms around. When the probe returned, it expected to be able to talk to the whales again. Eventual backstory in a novel reveals that the probe was designed by Sapient Cetaceans — dubbed "hyperdolphins" — on the other side of the galaxy, which might qualify as doubling the trope.

You haven't lived until you've seen a whale doing a high-speed close-orbit approach of a planet to free its ancestor's soul from a citadel of evil. During that storyline, Storm actually merged with one of the Acanti, as an alternative to either committing suicide or transforming into one of The Brood after being implanted with a Brood egg. Fortunately, the X-Men and Starjammers were able to free the Acanti from slavery, and the whales' thankful shaman (yes, a giant whale sorcerer) magically purged the Brood eggs from the mutants' bodies.

Space Whale / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Space-themed Spelljammer setting had the Kindori, your basic mouthless multi-eyed blue whale. Delphinids are Space Dolphins. The godlike Great Dreamers aren't quite Space Whales proper, but rather space-traveling whales, as they float in water envelopes the size of a little moon (they are up to 20 miles long themselves). And, of course, the Spelljammer itself is a giant living spaceship in the shape of a manta ray. Air Whales appear in a third edition supplement book, too. And they're used as blimps. Pelins, from a very old Dragon article, were basically the same thing, although they didn't look all that much like whales. One old Dragon article featured a species of large whale that could use astral projection as an inherent ability, making the Astral Plane home to Space Whales. Balaenas (later re-named "elsewhales"), an intelligent species of magical whale, can take people on trips in pockets of air it creates in its mouth.

Farscape also features budongs, natural creatures that can grow to the size of a small moon. In one episode Talyn gets swallowed by one.

All Liir who ever set their flippers into space are murderously insane... At least by Liir standards, as they're actually willing to harm other beings. Though they can't survive vacuum and use starships. In SotS 2, it's explained that the Suul'ka are actually Liir who have grown so large that, normally, the Square-Cube Law would cause them to die underwater. Instead, they choose to teleport themselves into space using their immense Psychic Powers and go mad with power. Screenshots reveal that they are, in fact, several times larger than the new Leviathan-class warships (which are about 800 meters long). They survive vacuum thanks to special environmental suits which also double as battle armor. The reason the Liir are so advanced is because these Elders enslaved the younger Liir and forced an industrial revolution just to build them these suits.

Live ones (or possibly ghosts) show up from time to time in various side stories. In ∀ Gundam, a number of (Earth) whales thrive in human built waterways on the moon. The way Turn A is connectioned with other Gundam universes leads one to question whether the whales from SEED are related.

Space Whale / int_8fda7950	comment	Known Space: "Starseeds" are immense, space-dwelling organisms that periodically migrate inward into the galaxy's inner region to reproduce, then heading back to its edges in a constant cycle. In their natural forms, they resemble egg-shaped masses falling through space on their own momentum. When they need to reorient, they unfold huge solar sails, miles in length, to catch solar winds and shift themselves around. The Outsiders, a race that could easily dominate the Galaxy but is content to sell information, follow them for unknown reasons. Starseeds, and the associated starseed lures which can be applied to any star to draw starseeds, become key plot points in Ringworld. They're noted to be doomed as a species — the huge explosion of novas at the galactic core set off a wave of radiation that will sterilize the galaxy, and the starseeds, now in their inward migration, are heading mindlessly right for it — but some of their eggs are occasionally launched towards the Magellanic clouds, globular clusters, or Andromeda, which means that the species might survive elsewhere.

They proceeded to create a theme-park ride based on this "fact". The Encyclopod of the 4th movie, Into The Wild Green Yonder, is a space manta ray. "MÃ¶bius Dick" introduces a Space Whale. A four-dimensional one that breaches into the universe to "breathe" the vacuum of space, spouting fractals along the way. It has a looped "Moebius colon" that keeps whatever it swallows in perfectly preserved temporal stasis, which is oddly separate from its actual food source, feelings of obsession leeched from poor victims taunted into obsessing over it that it assimilates into its body. The episode gives us this gem from Dr. Amy Wong, "I used to hunt giraffes on safari, and giraffes are basically just land space whales."

Given the way Vyse and Aika react when they first encounter Rhaknam, and the fact that you never see any other arcwhales through the course of the game in spite of traversing the entire world, it's reasonable to assume that arcwhales are incredibly rare and seeing one is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Or they don't exist. It is not likely that they do not exist, as Rhaknam was mentioned to be an existing creature that was modified, rather than constructed from scratch.

Space Whale / int_c4343335	comment	Fantasia 2000: In the "Pines of Rome" sequence, some sort of Negative Space Wedgie gives a pod of whales the power of flight, whereupon they rise into the atmosphere, enter space itself, and ultimately breach the surface of the "ocean" of the atmosphere — the animators assure us it's intended to be ambiguous. Besides, the sequence's titular song, by Ottorino Resphigi, is so majestic we can pretty much not care about that.

Space Whale / int_c43df4d8	comment	Over the course of Doctor Who, several space whale and space whale-like specimens have been introduced. In an older episode, there was a kind of whale analogue. It looked more like a giant dragonfly, but its method of gathering oxygen and then holding its breath while it flew to another planet was explicitly likened to whales. "The Beast Below": Starship UK's engine is in fact a captured Space Whale, almost literally (they call it a star-whale). In this case it gets bonus points since the ship wouldn't exist/would fall apart without it. "Kill the Moon" at first features what appear to be dog-sized space spiders... but they turn out to be nothing more than bacteria compared to the gigantic dragon-like creature that's about to hatch out of the Moon, which is actually its egg. It's implied that it belongs to a whole species of Space Whales that lay moon-sized eggs right when they hatch; their eggs remain in orbit around their host planets, providing them with all the advantages of a massive moon, meaning they are symbiotic with their planets. Good thing the protagonists decided NOT to nuke the Moon in the end... The Doctor Who novel The Resurrection Casket has a variation with Krarks, which are small, very vicious space sharks.

With the "Outlaws" update, frigate fleets occasionally warp into a system and can be watched from the surface of a planet.

Space Whale / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: A space whale is re-united with others of its kind at the end of the pilot episode "Encounter at Farpoint." In the episode "Galaxy's Child", the Enterprise is under threat by a Space Whale baby who thinks the Enterprise is its mother, and is sucking the energy from the ship. (It looks more like a nudibranch but acts like a whale.) The Next Generation has another space whale — which is also a Living Ship — called Gomtuu in the episode "Tin Man". It was revealed in commentary that the Enterprise-D was planned to carry whales and dolphins to help navigation, as they are more experienced moving in 3-D space. While not directly shown a few episodes indicate this as well: "We'll Always Have Paris" has a turbolift door labeled "Tursiops [bottlenose dolphin] crew facility" and ''Yesterday's Enterprise has announcement over the intercom reference "Cetacean Ops". The idea of starships carrying cetacean crewmembers is canonically shown on Star Trek: Lower Decks with two beluga whale officers named Kimolu and Matt on the U.S.S. Cerritos. It helps that belugas and the aforementioned bottlenose dolphins are among the smaller cetaceans (smaller than humpback and blue whales) and can more easily fit on a starship. According to the Enterprise blueprints, cetacean engineers actually designed much of the navigation system. That's engineers who are cetaceans. From Earth.
