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.
Discovery
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.
Feeding Habits
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.
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.
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.
Battles
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 October 28, 2017, Astrobolt brought the Phantom Narwhal into battle. It was quickly defeated. Two other narwhals were brought into battle, but they were also defeated.
The Second Battle of Freeport
On November 4, 2017, Astrobolt brought the Phantom Narwhal into battle again. After Astrobolt gave command of it to Nationalistic, (more commonly known as TheSmilingFlea) the Phantom Narwhal defeated the Teletub and won the battle.
The Fourth Battle of Freeport
On November 26, 2017, Astrobolt brought the Phantom Narwhal into battle after missing the last battle. (it was ships only, no subs allowed) Heavy damage was taken in the first few minutes due Maximus_Terragon allowing TNT. Maximus_Terragon quickly stopped the battle to allow time for the Phantom Narwhal to be repaired. Unfortunately, an inadequate amount of time was given and the Phantom Narwhal did not stand a chance when the battle resumed, even though TNT was no longer allowed.
The Eighth Battle of Freeport
On May 26, 2018, exactly since months since the last ship battle that the 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 Phantom Narwhal, remained. The winner was decided by which ship had the most blocks remaining at the end. The Phantom Narwhal emerged victorious with 93.4% of blocks remaining. This was the last schedule Battle of Freeport.
Breeds
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.
