Often seen sunbathing or sleeping in pods by the docks and beach, these loud and curious creatures will approach anything that interest them. One should never approach these beasts while on land, they will lash out and attack before escaping to the water.

Biology

The Seal (True) is distinctive by their lack of visible ear flaps and their inability to walk on land. They have thick layers of blubber that is able to insulate them and protect their body from the frigid water where their prey resides.

Their flippers are inadequate for supporting their weight on land, forcing them to roll or bounce from place to place while on land. Despite being vulnerable on land, they often come up to the surface to escape predators, mate, sleep, sunbathe, care for their pups, or molt.

Their whiskers are highly sensitive to movement in water, able to detect the slightest movement of their prey with deadly accuracy.

Like many marine animals, their teeth are filled with bacteria that can cause swelling and pain in the affected parts which can spread throughout the body. Treatment must be administered within 24 hours in order for the treatment to be effective, any infection prolonged over 24 hours will need amputation in order to stop the disease from spreading throughout the body.

Seal (True) size varies from 4 ft. to 8 ft. and weighting between 100 lbs to 650 lbs.
