First, search for Orcas- the ocean surface is too safe. My original post was too big, so I had to split it up. Sorry for the inconvenience. Once you have read that one, come back to this post.
The New Problem: I already thought of how to represent the normal dangers of ocean travel. however, the ocean during a storm is an entirely different problem. Thousands of large ships have sunk during storms, and a tiny row boat wouldn't stand a chance. To reflect this in Minecraft, I propose the Zombie Orca.
What it is: The normal Orca will be annoying, and will will make ocean travel a little more interesting. But the zombie Orca needs to be deadly (For the average player). What could get worse than a trident wielding drowned riding an Orca?
About the Zombie Orca:It will spawn the same way a normal Orca does, except only during rain and storms. There will only be one, not a pack, and it will always spawn with a trident drowned riding it. It will be hostile, can sense you in a 20 block radius. It will continue to be hostile even if the drowned is dismounted. It will also attack any boats first, than the player. The boats will still drop. The drowned will start throwing the tridents once in its normal attack range.
Specifics:
Size: Same as the normal Orca
Coloring: Black with gray spots, red eyes.
Health: 30 points
Attack damage: Same as Zombies?
Speed: Same as boats.
A good time to implement both Orca variants would be in the next ocean update, whenever you get to it.
