Seel | Seel seems to be based on an {{wp|earless seal}}, particularly a {{wp|harp seal}} pup due to its pure white fur and icy habitat. Its horn may be inspired by the {{wp|narwhal}}, a {{wp|toothed whale}} with a protruding tusk that lives in the {{wp|Arctic Ocean}}. The shape of its tail resembles a stylized {{wp|waterspout}} or {{wp|geyser}}. | ||
