Liandrin, being full of self importance amongst Darkfriends, thinking she can take on or take over a Forsaken, definitely feels like she would fit the description of a pygmy killer whale!

I had a difficult time deciding between a couple of species, but I decided on the Irrawaddy dolphin! Yes, it looks very cute, and not what you would picture for Silviana, but I think some of its behaviors fit her arc in the series.
Two Irrawaddy dolphins spyhopping. They look like small, grey beluga whales. One is spitting water out of its mouth in a long stream.

Travis - Lion Whitney - pink nun demon Marisha - titty dwarf Aabria - Master of the Deck Matt - curly hair don’t care Taliesin - Jigsaw Ashley - Mystery Drow-ja (play on Mystery Saja) Alex - Dr Foxy Frankenstein Rob - HOT (all caps) and wolf Liam - theater professor Luis - Jamie Fraser Sam - blue priest Laura - fairy

So if Lews Therin is a blue whale, Sammael is definitely a fin whale, the second largest whale. Still very big, but not as big as a blue. They also have asymmetrical colored jaws, which in a way could also be like Sammael’s scar, I guess. They stun fish with the lighter side!
An aerial close up a fin whale about to surface for a breath, just the tip of its rostrum above the surface. You can see that the left jaw is a dark color and the right jaw is a much lighter color, and the distinctive white chevron mark on its back.

Happy #WoTWhalesDay! Today I will be discussing our favorite not-so-short king, Sammael! #TheWheelOfTime #WoTSkies
Sammael portrayed by Cameron Jack in season 3. He looks angry, and has his skeletal armor on. You can see the large scar that runs from above his right eye to down below his left eye.

You've probably guessed it already. Because Lews Therin is so important overall, he is obviously a blue whale! He's swimming around out there, alone, crying "ILYENA!"
A blue whale underwater. The camera angle is closer to the head of the whale, so you're seeing it in profile, but its body is angled away from the camera and kinda fades into the background.

It doesn't take a ton of effort to realize that Elayne is absolutely a humpback whale! Friendly, sociable, constantly drawing everyone's attention like the subjects we most certainly are. You cannot help but love her.

Happy #WoTWhalesDay everyone!! Today I will be discussing our favorite Daughter Heir, Elayne Trakand! #TheWheelofTime #WoTSkies
Elayne Trakand from a season 2 poster. Her red hair is tied half back, and she looks slightly out of the corner of her eyes at the camera. She stands in front of a yellow circle on a teal background in her Novice white outfit.

Rhuarc has a commanding presence, and is rather intimidating, but still playful, and the whale that just makes sense for him is the sperm whale. Honestly I can't really go much more in depth than that, he just has the vibes of a sperm whale.
A sperm whale swims just below the surface of the water. You can see her wrinkly skin and large, bulbous, rectangular profile as she swims past the camera. She has a small calf swimming just underneath her.

I have decided that Aludra is a right whale dolphin! Yes, it is called a right whale dolphin. There are two species, whose main differences (according to wikipedia) appear to be location and appearance: the northern (left) and southern (right) right whale dolphins.
A northern right whale dolphin leaping out of the water. It has no dorsal fin or ridge, giving it a very streamlined body. It is mostly black, with a white patch stretching from the fluke to the chin, with the patch widening around the pectoral flippers. It has an addtional white patch on the underside of its beak. A southern right whale dolphin swimming just underneath the surface. You can see a trail of bubbles as it starts to exhale before breaking the surface. It also has no dorsal fin or ridge, giving it a streamlined body. It is black and white, with black on the dorsal side of its body and a larger white patch stretching from the fluke all the way to its beak, its pectoral fins are white and the rostrum is entirely white as well.

#WoTBookSpoilers BONUS! Moridin, as death itself, is quite clearly a whalefall.

Happy #WoTWhalesDay! Today is a pretty simple, yet fitting comparison (which he’d appreciate) for our boy, Ishy!

ANYWAY, Eamon Valda is definitely a bottlenose dolphin, because they're both assholes that rape people.

Faile is very smol, but she is fiery in personality, quick to temper and fast in general. So, I decided she is the fastest of the small cetaceans: the Dall's porpoise!
A Dall's porpoise swimming just underneath the surface, as the tip of its drsal fin starts to break the surface. It is a small black porpoise with a large white patch along its side and underbelly from the front end of its dorsal fin to about halfway down its back. There is another small white patch on the peduncle, and the fluke tips are also white. The tip of the dorsal fin is also white.
