Killer Whale:

Known as the "Lord of the Ocean" the Killer whale is said to be the guardian of the ocean, with seals as his slaves and dolphins as his warriors. It is believed that killer whales are closely related to humans, and is said that when a human drowns it is taken down by killer whales into their deep villages and transformed into a killer whale. When a killer whale is seen of shore he is believed to be a deceased human trying to communicate with loved ones. When a person is drowned by a killer whale they have been drowned by a deceased family member. The killer whale is the sea form of the white wolf that's where the white markings come from, Because killer whales mates for life they symbolise romance and longevity. Killerwhales also symbolise Harmony, Travel, and Protection.
