It is a light purple and light blue whale. It has large light blue stegosaurus-like scales on its back and very short fins. The Dorudon also has two small eyes with thick eyebrows.

Trivia
- In real life, the Dorudon is an early ancestor of the modern-day whale. It lived around the Eocene period around 40 million to 33 million years ago. Around 60 million years after the episode's setting of 100 million years ago. Plus the whales would've been more slender in appearance like a modern porpoise, with small vestigial back flippers that most modern whales lack.
