Orca whales are the Narwhals' greatest natural predators. Narwhals avoid the orcas by staying in the cracks between glaciers in the winter. Orca whales are unable to stay there because they are too big to fit, and because they have dorsal fins, which hinder their ability to squeeze through tight spaces. The narwhal has no dorsal fin.

The common human (homo sapien sapien) is also an enemy of the narwhal, because humans hunt the narwhal for food and for its ivory. Powdered narwhal tusk used to be sold as "unicorn horn" and was thought to be a sort of cure-all medicine, even holding possibly magical properties. Obviously we now know those statements to be false. Still, there are communities in Norway and such that rely on narwhal meat, sinew, blubber, and tusk to survive.
