Tulkha CR 6

This orca-like creature has patterns across its skin that appear as if carved with distinctive colors painted over it. Faces are almost visible in the patterns and staring too long at these faces is extremely disorienting. It walks upon four strong legs and its mouth is filled with sharp teeth.
