Skywhale

Skywhales are a species of magical beasts that live worldwide.

Appearance
Skywhales basically look like normal whales, in a variety of species, however, there are a few differences between them. First, they tend to not have blowholes, but instead have nostrils. Two, their fins tend to have a wing-like/feathered appearance, without them actually having feathers.

Behavior
Skywhales tend to be similar to normal whales in behavior, tending to travel in small groups called pods. However, unlike their aquatic bretherin, skywhales tend to live their life almost completely airborn. They are all carnivorous by nature, either tending to eat small birds and other airborn animals, or just eating small swarms of insects. They are very nurturing to each other, and the mothers are very protective of their calves. They tend to get quite close to the earth in order to give birth, but will immediately lift their offspring up to join the rest of the pod. Also, just like most other magical beasts, young ones can form bonds with the one that will become their rider.

Powers
Also, due to some species of skywhales possessing peg-like fangs, and large jaw muscles, they therefore possess powerful bites.
 * Flight:  Skywhales are able to fly through the air, although it looks more like swimming than flight.
 * Enhanced endurance:  Skywhales are able to survive with little to no energy for an extended amount of time.
 * Enhanced hearing:  Skywhales are able to hear with amazing clarity, distance, detail, and even infrasound, sound that is too low for most to hear.
 * Enhanced lung capacity:  Skywhales possess tremendous lung capacity, and are able to use the oxygen more efficiently than others while staying active.
 * Enhanced speed:  Skywhales are able to travel through the air with amazing speed.
 * Enhanced strength:  Skywhales are able to exert a great amount of strength from their muscles.
 * Cold immunity:  Skywhales are innately immune to the effects of cold, especially in high altitudes.
 * Pressure resistance:  Skywhales are innately resistant to the fluctuating atmospheric pressure in their environment.
 * Echolocation:  Skywhales are able to determine the location of objects in their environment via reflecting soundwaves.
 * Sonic blasts:  Skywhales are able to produce highly destructive and deafening sound of high amplitude.
 * Aerial adaptation:  Skywhales are adapted to living in high altitudes, allowing them to use the oxygen more efficiently, combat wind friction, and provides them with immunity to vertigo and acrophobia (fear of heights).
 * Air manipulation:  Skywhales are able to manipulate the air.
 * Skywhale communication: Skywhales are able to communicate with each other, similar to their aquatic cousins.
