The Interconnected Whale (Megaptera yeohi), also known as Sawintiran Humpback Whale, Michelle Yeoh's Whale, or Getton is the fictional species of rorqual introduced in Worldcraft series of Rewritten: Finale.
Their scientific name was very well known in 2022, when they were discovered, and she became the first Asian actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of a frazzled mother navigating the multiverse in the science fiction film Everything Everywhere All at Once.
The common name comes from how their backs curve when diving. Their large front flippers are the reason for the genus name Megaptera, which comes from the Ancient Greek words mega- ("giant") and ptera ("wing"). Due to frequent sightings of humpback whales in Ever-realm as opposed to Earth, scientists named the species after Yeoh Choo Kheng or Michelle Yeoh in 2027.
Getton is a Sawintiran word "geddon" for whale, as depicted or similar to Sanskrit "केतु" Ketu, Elvish Khelto "porpoise", Greek "Κῆτος" Cetus. As a suggests a Pre-Greek origin and from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kaytúš, from Proto-Indo-European *koy-tús, from *key- (“bright, burning”).
With the exception of their short length, very long fin tail, and two wart projections on the right side of their flippers, the interconnected humpback whale resembles true humpback whales. Compared to original humpbacks, female interconnected whales typically measure 1.5–1.9 m (4 ft 59 in–6 ft 74 in) longer. Baleen plates that range from 280 to 420, as opposed to the original's 270 to 400 for both sides, line the mouth.
The animal's ventral, or underside, has varying degrees of black and white coloration that are less intense than in the original humpbacks. The dorsal, or upper, side of the animal is typically black.
The humpback whales of Earth were likely to evolve in Ever-realm and are now in Delphia as the first known immigrant animal on various planets via drift portals opened since 2034, similar to how nailtooth fish did.
Interconnected humpback whales can swim with a typical speed of 5 to 15 km/h and a burst speed of up to 25 km/h. Because of its flexible body and long pectoral fins, this whale is incredibly agile. Some of the most acrobatic large whales, humpback whales engage in play, communication, and parasite removal through their acrobatics, such as tail slapping, pectoral slapping, and breaching. Their massive bodies dwarf our own, and they are powerful animals. Yet, they never harm humans, and there are many cases of whales intentionally showing their gentle side by avoiding contact that would inflict injury.
Interconnected humpback whales primarily produce clicks, whistles, and pulsed calls as their three main sound types. The purpose of clicks is thought to be navigation and locating physical surroundings. When sound waves hit an object and then return to the whale, the whale can recognize the shape of the object. They grunt, groan, shriek, and even make a low-toned guttural roar. The sounds humpback whales make are called songs. These often include repeated noises and rhythms and can last for a few minutes in some cases and hours in other situations. They are somewhat transcendent and use the enchanted, sophisticated songs as their true music for courtship and marriage, unlike their relatives, because they are as intelligent as chimpanzees, much like humpback whales, who have the same abilities but are stronger than their ancestors. They are able to communicate with humans and other races that are endowed with magical abilities through their own language and unique names. The former communicate with mammals using sign language, whereas the connected whales use vocalizations and eye contact to understand telepathic and emotional viewing for this species. For instance, they are regarded as siblings or friends by some nations and clans.
Interconnected humpback whales are well-known for their coordinated behavior known as "bubble-net feeding," in which they deploy spirals of bubbles to snare fish and filter krill using baleen plates.
This species controls the "Fuhrer Krill," another krill species that diverged from Antarctic krill during a near-death experience. When released, these krill balls can swim straight at an adversary and explode when they make contact, dealing heavy damage. The monarchy and its allies regarded it as commensalism. And according to the Bible, if that occurred, you would be treated as a ruthless cetacean that had been betrayed and would suffocate, be crushed, or be burned in acid.

Like all cetaceans, interconnected humpback whales are filter feeders and carnivores. They mostly eat krill, small schooling fish (such as herring, anchovy, sand lance, and capelin), and small crustaceans. On feeding grounds, they consume between 1,000 and 1,500 kilograms of prey per day. This species' role in the ecosystem is to cycle nutrients (nitrogen, iron) from deep water to the surface by dropping their "whale pump." This excrement boosts phytoplankton productivity and is crucial for sequestering carbon in the ocean.
Breeding season: Winter in warm waters
Gestation: ~11–12 months
Calf size: 4–5 m long; ~1,500 lbs at birth
Nursing: 6–10 months, drinking rich milk (up to 50% fat)
Reproductive interval: Every 2–3 years
Mating behavior: Male “singing,” competitions, displays of strength
They are calm around people, much like humpback whales. But given their size, they might be dangerous to boats and swimmers who get too close. Respect the Interconnected and Original whales by keeping your distance from them and refraining from touching them. You could become ill or injured. Whales may scratch, bite, or thrash their tails, placing you in danger.
Past whaling (population reduced by >90% before protections)
Ship strikes
Entanglement in fishing gear
Noise pollution disrupting communication
Climate change affecting food supply
Habitat degradation
IUCN Red List: Least Concern (LC)
Many populations are rebounding dramatically.
Excellent conservation success story compared to other whales.
Some regional populations are endangered (e.g., Arabian Sea).
Protected by international laws (IWC moratorium, Marine Mammal Protection Act).
Habitat protection.
Anti-poaching enforcement.
Rescue and rehabilitation centers.
Awareness campaigns against illegal pet trade.
While the atmosphere of Delphia, the closest neighbor exoplanet of Berbania, resembles that of Earth, and the Interconnected Humpback Whale, a native of Ever-realm, is now found there as a self-introduced species in all of its oceans, it is unable to survive Lucretians and its inhabitants. There are whales that can be found swimming 4,000 kilometers below the surface.
The numbers have partially recovered to some 115,090 animals worldwide in Sawintir, while entanglement in fishing gear, collisions with ships, and noise pollution continue to affect the species.
