Imagine, if you will, a Paladin Sperm Whale Cosmo Knight. Sperm whales already have a really high amount of HP & SDC, so their resultant MDC would be quite high. Now add the armor and the Cosmo Knight ability to effectively shrug off energy blasts and you've got one tough champion! Add to that the perfect weapon; A pair (or more) of ship piercing ramming horns or blades and now you've REALLY got a Cosmo knight that can take on starships!
Just a random thought my DM came up with last night.
My real world Physics defeats your Quasi-Physics!!! Bubblegum Crisis, best anime/sci-fi/ for totally hot babes in Power Armor.!!!! Magic. Completely screws logic at every opportunity. (credit due to Ilendaver)
No SDC or HP of the origional being remains, they are re-made into the Cosmo Knight with only the usual MDC roll.
Regardless, the idea of a flying, shining, speaking Sperm Whale is hilarious

It's allowed explictly for large ships. it halves damage of missile volleys.

Don't know about that, but the Lord of the Deep would be in for some serious crap.
Nah....Magic versus CosmoKnight...Sir Cachalot's going to be hurting in an encounter like that....

Cosmo Knights are not actually weak to magic, they just take regular damage from your call lightning rather than 1/100, plus their high PE and MDC means that they are fantasic anti-magic tanks too. High save and enough MDC to survive a beating, what more do you want?

Seriously, I never got this whole "Cosmo Knights are weak to magic" thing. They are not. They're actually more resistant than most OCC's.

Now wondering if sperm whales can learn n&ss art forms for automatic roll.
If Dragons get their own hth style, cetacens should too! The megaverse demands Flipper-style akkido!

Maybe if he goes in by himself, but sperm whales hunt in pods... And Rifts sperm whales have power armour, evidently...
I have to finish up and colorize my sketch of that stuff....
