In the same world that the Avian lives on are the Sky Barge Dolphins, named so for their enormous size. Hailing at more then 500 feet in length, a single swipe from a tail of one of these creatures could send massive tidal waves careening... if they lived in the ocean. Their large size hides a secret - while look rather solid, most of their body is composed of huge helium 'bladders' which let these creatures remain aloft. They spend their entire lives at about 10,000 feet in the air, living within a vast aerial ecosystem. There are other flying dolphins, however, their often enemy and challenger, the Sky Killers (resembling the Orca).

It doesn't look like it's full of helium...This may be gross, but maybe it should have a bulbous or swollen look.

:-) Anna 'NightHawk' Schenk replies: "You do have a point... although when you think about it when things have large sacks in them (ex fish have their bladders for controlling depth) you don't really see the organ protruding."
