Whales in D&D 3rd Edition were significantly reduced in Hit Dice from the way that they appeared in AD&D 1st Edition (as presented in the AD&D 1st Edition Dungeon Master's Guide, p. 214). It's doubly odd because in so doing, the designers made whales the only creatures in the Core Rules with Hit Dice falling below the "standard hit dice progression" for their size category (see here: www.superdan.net/dndmisc/monster_abnormal_hd.html). For those DMs and players who wish to clear up these problems, the following conversions are offered.
