Origin[]
Dawn Brancheau was a senior animal trainer at SeaWorld who worked as the main orca handler for fifteen years. One of the leading performers in the revamped Shamu act, she was killed by an orca Tilikum during a show. She was dragged underwater and died from drowning and blunt force trauma. Dawn’s death raised concerns over the dangers trainers faced and the legitimacy of raising wild killer whales in captivity.
Effects[]
When worn, it causes all nearby marine life to attack the user. They will be able to locate the user even when they are not directly within their visual or acoustic field.
