About

WARNING! A Sperm Whales can eat you. IF you spend a week inside a Sperm Whale you will Permadie. Players who KO inside a Sperm Whale will also Permadie!


Sperm Whales are Creatures that swim in The Deep Ocean waters of the New World. They migrate North during the warm weather of an Everbloom and South during the chilly Coldsnap. Often Sperm Whales will travel together in pods.

Whale Excrement (left) and Ambergris (right)

If you are daring, or just foolish, enough to row your Canoe icon.png Canoe in directly in front of a Sperm Whale you will get swallowed whole. If multiple pilgrims get swallowed, they will all appear in the same stomach. In the Stomach there will be a small place where you can dismount your Canoe and enter the only way out - though its intestines. The intestines is a large labyrinth with lots of dead ends and piles of excrement and Ambergris will block your way. You will have to Dig your way through to get to the exit. Excrement can be Dug with Any Shovel icon.png Any Shovel to receive Whale Excrement icon.png Whale Excrement and rarely Pinocchio's Nose icon.png Pinocchio's Nose. Ambergris can be Chipped with Any Pickaxe icon.png Any Pickaxe or Any Axe icon.png Any Axe to receive Ambergris icon.png Ambergris.

Digging through the excrement will add Insanity, which will very rapidly add up in Madness levels, unless you do something to lower your insanity such as smoking Tobacco icon.png Tobacco or Drinking Milk icon.png Milk. The way out will look the same way as the way in. Once you are out you will need to Swim your way back to land as you will not be able to un-equip your Canoe. As Sperm Whales are still traveling while you are inside, you may exist considerably far from where you were swallowed. Make sure you have enough Phlegm to make the long Swim back to Shore.

Occasionally a Sperm Whale will beach itself and die on the Shore. Dead Whales are considered Exploration Events.
