Trivia[edit]
- While riding a skimmer through the ocean surrounding the Sandswept Isles, a group of three or four dolphins can join the player and jump out of the water near them, giving the player swiftness. Similarly, there's a also a chance that a shark will lunge at the player, stunning and dismounting them.
