''Monodon monoceros'' is a rare species more commonly known as the narwhal. Narwhals are known to have a single, long horn in the front of their head. Until recently, they have only known to live in the western ocean. They were also 16 narwhals discovered in the northern desert near xMadMonkeyx's town.
Narwhals are a rare species known to have a single, long horn in the front of their head. The original narwhal was built by [[Astrobolt]] in the western ocean. Smaller narwhals have also been built on land near xMadMonkeyx's town in the northern-most desert on the server. In August 2018, most of the narwhals were moved to a new location, the [[Narwhal HQ]], located in the [[TAS]] Sea.


__TOC__
__TOC__


== Discovery ==
== History ==


Narwhals were first discovered on PirateCraft by [[Astrobolt]] in December 2016. They were discovered in the western ocean, approximately 5000 blocks from cove. The first narwhal to be found was recently relocated to the northern ocean.
The first narwhal was built by [[Astrobolt]] when he was in the crew [[Phantom]]. [[Phantom]] was building a large navy which would ultimately be used to dominate in ship battles. [[Astrobolt]] decided to add his own touch to the collection and build the Original [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]]. Even though [[Astrobolt]] is no longer in [[Phantom]], (the crew was disbanded and remade several times) the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] has kept its name




== Feeding Habits ==
== Population ==


As narwhals are very rare, little is known about their feeding habits. The most that can be concluded is that they consume large amounts of coal.
There are currently three active narwhals on the server. (v2, v2.1, and v3 - see [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] for designation details) Two of them (v2 and v2.1) are at the [[Narwhal HQ]] and the other one (v3) is at Battle Bay so that it is ready for battles.


There are also three other narwhals which are all inactive. Two of them (v1 and v1.1) are at the [[Narwhal HQ]]. The other one (another v1.1) is in ruins at Freeport from the events of the First Battle of Freeport.


== Endangerment ==


Narwhals are considered as a highly endangered species on PirateCraft. Until recently, studies have shown that there may be as few as one narwhal on the entire server. Narwhals were discovered in the northern desert as well, prompting the question of their abilities to survive out of water.
== Battles ==


Recently, around the fall of 2017, a new breed of narwhals was discovered in the western ocean. This lessened fears that the narwhals might go extinct. So far, three of these new narwhals have been found.
=== The Battle on the High Seas ===
On December 27, 2016, JamminMas hosted the server's first major ship battle. The [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] was with the crew [[Phantom]] which Astrobolt was a part of at the time. Unfortunately, poor records were kept of the battle, so few details are available. However, the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] along with the rest of [[Phantom]] proved victorious.


=== The First Battle of Ship Wreck Isle ===
Hosted in early 2017 by Browe_, (the exact date was not recorded) this was the first battle at the new Ship Wreck Isle, built by Browe_ and [[NickyB_123|NickyB_123]]. Similarly to the Battle on the High Seas, the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] and [[Phantom]] won.


== Battles ==
=== The Second Battle of Ship Wreck Isle ===
 
Also hosted in early 2017 by Browe_, (the exact date was not recorded) this was the second battle to be held at Ship Wreck Isle. The results were just like the previous two battles, with the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] and [[Phantom]] winning.
Narwhals have proven to be fearsome warriors in ship battles. After [[Astrobolt]] tamed the first discovered narwhal, he rode it into a ship battle, making [[Astrobolt]] the first player to bring a narwhal to a ship battle. Narwhals are able to carry up to 3 iron cannons, 2 mortars, cargo, and passengers, making them perfect for riding into combat.


=== The First Battle of Freeport ===

On May 26, 2018, exactly since months since the last ship battle that the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] participated in, [[Astrobolt]] returned and ended his boycott on battles organized by [[Maximus_Terragon]]. At the end of the battle, four ships, including the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]], remained. The winner was decided by which ship had the most blocks remaining at the end. The [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] emerged victorious with 93.4% of blocks remaining. This was the last schedule Battle of Freeport.

== Breeds ==
=== The First Battle of Battle Bay ===
 
On August 18, 2018, [[Maximus_Terragon]] hosted the first battle in the newly made Battle Bay. The [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] ultimately finished in second place. Given the new rules and new narwhal version, the results were more than satisfactory while still leaving room to improve.
The first narwhal discovered is of the standard breed. It is very capable and should not be interfered with.
 
After the discovery of a new breed of narwhals, the three that were found were used in battle and proved victorious.
 
New breeds are constantly being discovered, and [[Astrobolt]] only uses the best of them in battle.
