Stormwal

The Stormwal (called ' Space Whale' by the designers) is a flying creature which lives in the atmosphere of Crusader. The animal currently only exists in concept. Its implementation was confirmed on 2020-04-06 by writer Dave Haddock.

According to the concept art, the carcass of a space whale is circa 100 metres long. They are hunted because their body produces a highly valuable resource.

There currently sits a large sculpture of a stormwal on Orison's Cloudview Center platform made by Bipasha Zhu. Cutting a stark contrast against the vibrant sky, the sweeping lines of Orison’s signature stormwal sculpture captures the grace and beauty of the gentle creatures it portrays. Formally titled "Until Again", artist Bipasha Zhu says that she was inspired by the city’s harmony and weightless strength. To better understand her bashful subjects, Bipasha spent a week living in a cloud submersible studying the stormwals up close.
