The Apex Sperm Whale is a large male albino Sperm Whale that lives in The Gulf of Port Clovis in the 2020 shark video game, Maneater. It is the last, largest, and most powerful of the seven Apex Predators living in Port Clovis.
Characteristics[]
Measuring an estimated 20 m (66 ft) in length, the Apex Sperm Whale is considered the largest and most powerful Apex Predator of the base game. At level 60, it's 15 times more powerful than regular sperm whales (which are level 45), 10 times more powerful than albino sperm whales, 5 times more powerful than hunted sperm whales, and stronger than any other marine animal. The Apex Sperm Whale has white albino skin, red eyes, and lots of harpoons and ropes around its body from failed attempts to kill. It also has an anchor on the end of its tail.
The Apex Sperm Whale is most likely a reference to Herman Melville's, "Moby Dick" since like the whale in novel, is a large albino sperm whale that can't be killed by harpoons and bashes into large boats with its massive head. The Apex Sperm Whale was not only the largest sperm whale but was also the largest predator as well as the largest animal in Port Clovis, prior to its death. Additionally, it's very possible that the Apex Sperm Whale is a male, seeing as how Male Sperm Whales are much bigger than females.
History[]
“ | Back in the good old days, the world practically ran on Sperm Whale oil. Now, we can only watch them from afar, dreaming of tapping their skulls for all that sweet spermaceti. | „ |

Life in The Gulf[]
The Apex Sperm Whale lived in the deep depths of The Gulf in Port Clovis. The whale has a history of ramming boats since its been involved with many battles between hunters who have failed to kill it (indicating all the harpoons inflicted on it). Now a large adult, the Apex Sperm Whale continued its reign of terror ramming any boat that entered its territory while feeding on Hammerhead Sharks as its primary food source, becoming the largest predator in all of Port Clovis as well as becoming the apex predator of the Gulf, feeding on a diet of sharks, orcas, and possibly other sperm whales.
Fight against the MEGA Bull Shark[]
After taking control of The Gulf and eating the Sperm Whale's primary food source, the MEGA Bull Shark prepares to face off against the last and largest Apex Predator and earn her place as the true Apex Predator of Port Clovis. Upon entering the area of the Apex Sperm Whale, a cutscene plays showing the giant whale swimming up then down and incredible speed to destroy and sink 2 fishing boats before noticing and swimming over to face the player into a freeze screen as Trip Westhaven says, "The Cetacean Assassin... The Sperm Whale!" and the whale swims out of view as the cutscene ends.
Using her experience and evolutions, the MEGA Bull Shark fights the mighty albino whale to earn her place as the true Apex Predator of Port Clovis. Since the Apex Sperm Whale is the biggest and strongest of all Apex Predators, it would best for the shark to equipped with the whole Bone Set evolution which provide pretty protection in combat and that the Bone Teeth provide extra damage to enemies. The shark will also need to avoid the sperm whale's tail since it delivers a much more pounding hit than the Apex Orca and its thrash attack does twice as much damage. Like the Apex Orca, there's no possible way the shark can perform a thrash attack on the whale since it's level is 30 times for stronger than MEGA.
Against all odds, the MEGA Bull shark defeats the mighty Apex Sperm Whale, which not only rewards her the Subliminal Evasion Organ but also, "The true ultimate Apex Predator". After the victory, the MEGA shark makes her way to the area where Scaly Pete and his refurbished World War ll Era PT 522 Boat are so she can engage in the final battle with him and avenge the death of her mother once and for all.
