Most dolphins simply roam the oceans in nomadic schools.
A small number (10%), however,
have formed underwater communities,
and if one is located it is 75% probable that there will be from 1-4 +additional+ communities of dolphins within a 5 mile radius.
Communal dolphins will have from 2-5 swordfish || 1-3 narwhales,
depending on the climatic region, as guards.

Dolphins will attack any creature which threatens them, although they will help humans in distress.
They particularly hate sharks of all sorts and will attack unless outnumbered by 2 or more to 1.

The dolphin is the sacred animal of Dionysus and Deep Sashelas.
