    The swordfish looks more like a sawfish to me.

      Neither has a blowhole, though. Still, I give the dude credit for giving them interesting personalities while making them generally recognizable.

    That narwhal would make an awesome tattoo.

    100% understandable but it be much more accurate to swap the heads of the narwal and swordfish

    Looks like a dolphin, narwhal, hammerhead, and finless porpoise.
