Breach [two-actions] The orca Swims up to its swim Speed, then Leaps vertically out of the water up to 25 feet in the air, making a Strike against a creature at any point during the jump (this lets it attack a creature within +30 feet of the water’s surface). After the Strike, the orca splashes back down into the water.

About

While many know orcas as “killer whales,” they are actually the largest species of dolphin. These powerful animals hunt together in pods to take down seals, sharks, and even true whales. Adult orcas are typically 15-25 feet long and weigh 8,000-12,000 pounds.
