Physical Appearance
Bake-kujira is the only notorious cetacean that is now undead and considered Eubalaena japonica, the North Pacific right whale. Gave the glowing and non-passed skin because it was blue, and in this case, there was blue-green ectoplasm with their heart organ and other invisible digestive system. Besides their ghostly and undead appearance, Bake-kujira lacks a brain, digestive system, trachea, eardrum, thyroid, and pelvis, which the pelvis is now added to, and disperses the ectoplasms on its limbs and tail. Their wisdom comes from their devolved species instead of mythology.
Abilities
Bake-kujira makes them invisible at daylight in bathypelagic, mesopelagic, and epipelagic zones; they only reappear at night and midnight in all ocean layers; because of their ghosted form, their skeletons still sleep well and make them play dead at sinking or floating around the ocean. Bake-kujira slams their tail fluke to form a tidal wave. Bake-kujira breathes a whirlpool to stun enemies, causing confusion and trauma. Bake-kujira floats or levitates itself as normal.
Skills
Poltergeist's Waves: Bake-kujira slams their tail fluke, causing tsunamis. Stuns at 2 seconds, prevent this attack by their water-proof or water-resistant immunity, and weaken Bake-kujira's attacks.
Countershade Ghosting: In order to prevent their attackers from seeing them, Bake-kujira turns the oceans and seas invisible and camouflages them. results in a 50% increase in movement speed. Wetness, bewilderment, saltiness, and dizziness are caused when the whirlpool assault is cast while the invisible form is gone. Additionally, thwart this onslaught with their water-resistant or water-proof bodies, which offer weak protection against Bake-kujira's attacks.
Horrific Past: Charge Onward (Japanese: 研磨、過去: 突撃!, Kemna, Kako: Totsugeki!): Bake-kujira makes invisible in their form, to dash and hitting the enemies, until the biting the large boat like a yacht to ship causes crunches. Chances are, the ships and yachts are damaged.
Soul of Vengeance: Bake-kujira was immune to physical and magic damages, except for light and chaos elements as their main weaknesses.

Ecology
Bake-kujira makes itself to perform in their main ecological niche as baleen whales. It scared the predators because of their ghost form. Bake-kujira makes it invisible at daylight and dawn, making it immortal; it reappears at midnight, causing mortality.
Behavior
It is typically pretty placid, but when you approach it, it becomes territorial and will attack if you get too close. Because of its special ability to warp through teleportation and pass through walls when using its skill, the Bake-kujira is regarded as a high-tier tame creature.
Threats
Hunting of right whales in the North Pacific by the Japanese people began as early as the late 1000s and by Europeans and Americans in the 1830s. By 1900, the population had been reduced to a tiny fraction of its original abundance, and the variant, the bake-kujira, was hunted to extinction for ectoplasm.
Distribution and Habitat
Long ago, on a wet night, a group of fishermen from the Shimane peninsula saw a huge white shape off the shore of the Sea of Japan, which is this species' natural home. They squinted their eyes and thought it was a whale swimming out to sea. Oceans such as the Delaware and the Kihelijaroi Ocean at Planet Berbania, as well as the southern sections of Reinachos' ocean, are where bake-kujira was first introduced as an invasive species along with right whales.
