Humpback Whale
The gentle titan of the Leonida currents.
Scale Factor
GIGANTIC
Found in open ocean. Can capsize small boats during a breach.
The Humpback Whale is a testament to the sheer scale of GTA 6's world. While sharks dominate the coastal food chain, these massive mammals roam the deep, blue waters of the Atlantic, far off the coast of Vice City.
Unlike most wildlife, whales in GTA 6 are "Dynamic Events." You might be flying a plane over the ocean and see a massive spray of water (blowhole) or a full breach in the distance. Their presence makes the ocean feel like a living, breathing part of the map rather than just an empty boundary.
