Description[]
 This perfect sturgeon from Ciceros Strait has the ideal combination of characteristics for its species. There is a story of a Roman emperor who ate caviar from such a Ciceros sturgeon and declared that it was ''food sent from the gods''. This story gave these fabulous sturgeon, found only once every hundred years, their name.

 This perfect sturgeon from Ciceros Strait has the ideal combination of characteristics for its species. There's a story of a Roman emperor who ate caviar from such a Ciceros sturgeon and declared that it was ''food sent from the gods.'' In fact, he considered it so precious that he ordered the protection of all sturgeons from that day forward.
 Cet esturgeon béluga parfait, originaire du Détroit de Ciceros, regroupe en lui de manière idéale toutes les caractéristiques de son espèce. On raconte qu'un empereur romain, après avoir goûté au caviar préparé à partir d'œufs d'un tel esturgeon, déclara qu'il s'agissait d'un ''mets envoyé par les dieux''. C'est ainsi que ces esturgeons extraordinaires, qu'on ne rencontre qu'une fois par siècle, ont reçu leur nom.
 Dieser wundervolle Stör aus der Ciceros-Straße vereint sämtliche guten Eigenschaften seiner Spezies in sich. Angeblich soll ein römischer Kaiser den Kaviar eines solchen Ciceros-Störs verzehrt und danach ausgerufen haben, dies sei eine ''wahrlich von den Göttern gesandte Speise''. Von dieser Geschichte rührt der Name des märchenhaften Störs her, der nur ein Mal alle hundert Jahre gesichtet wird.
 Questo storione proviene dallo stretto di Ciceros e si tratta di un esemplare perfetto della sua specie. Si narra che, nel passato, un grande imperatore romano, assaggiando del caviale di uno storione dello stretto di Ciceros, lo definì ''un dono degli dei''. Questi rarissimi animali vengono trovati una volta ogni cento anni.
 理想の特徴を全て兼ね備えたキケロス海峡最高のチョウザメ。逸話によれば、古くローマ皇帝はこのキケロス海峡産チョウザメのキャビアを食して「これこそが天使の贈り物だ!」と叫んだという。このことから、このような巨大で理想的な特徴を持ったキケロス海峡産のチョウザメのことを、エンジェル・ギフトと呼び習わすようになったと言う。なお、エンジェル・ギフトは100年に1度見つかるかどうかであると言う。
 This is the best sturgeon in Ciceros Strait, that has the ideal combination of characteristics for its species. According to one anecdote, a Roman emperor once ate caviar from such a Ciceros sturgeon and exclaimed, "This is a gift from the angels!" This is why sturgeons such as this from Ciceros Strait, with their huge size and ideal characteristics, have come to be known as "angel gifts". Angel gift sturgeons are only found once every 100 years or so. ?

Dicha historia, apócrifa o no, es la que le ha dado su nombre a estos fabulosos animales, de los que solo se ve uno cada cien años.

Trivia[]
 [The cost of caviar]
Caviar, the eggs of the sturgeon, is considered a delicacy the world over. It takes 10 - 20 years for a sturgeon to mature into an egg-laying fish, and this combined with overfishing has caused prices to soar. Regular caviar is expensive, but caviar from Divine Gift can easily be ten times more expensive.

 [The cost of caviar]
Caviar, the eggs of the sturgeon, is considered a delicacy the world over. It takes 10-20 years for a sturgeon to mature into an egg-laying fish, and this, combined with the unfortunate demand for caviar, makes them particularly vulnerable to exploitation and other threats.
 (Le prix du caviar)
Le caviar, préparé à partir d'œufs d'esturgeon, est reconnu dans le monde entier comme un véritable délice. La pêche excessive dont l'esturgeon est victime, combinée au fait que 10 à 20 années sont nécessaires avant qu'un spécimen ne puisse pondre, a conduit les prix à grimper. Mais si le caviar ordinaire est cher, celui provenant du Don du ciel peut aisément se négocier à un prix 10 fois plus élevé.
 [Der Preis des Geschmacks]
Kaviar, die Eier des Störs, wird auf der ganzen Welt als Delikatesse betrachtet. Ein Stör braucht zehn bis zwanzig Jahre, um zu einem Eier legenden Fisch heranzuwachsen, und dies hat in Kombination mit der immer weiter zunehmenden Überfischung zu stetig steigenden Preisen geführt. Schon gewöhnlicher Kaviar ist kostspielig, aber Kaviar von der Göttergabe kann leicht das Zehnfache kosten.
 [Caviale... salato]
Il caviale, ovvero le uova dello storione, viene considerato una prelibatezza in tutto il mondo. Sono necessari 10-20 anni perché lo storione diventi adulto e sia in grado di deporre uova. Inoltre, lo storione viene pescato in modo eccessivo. Per queste ragioni, i prezzi del caviale sono altissimi, e il ''dono degli dei'' può costare fino a dieci volte tanto.
 【キャビアの価値】
世界三大珍味のひとつであるチョウザメの卵……キャビアは、チョウザメ自体が卵を産めるまで成長するのに最低10年・最高20年と時間がかかる上、乱獲の影響で絶滅に瀕していることから非常に高騰している。具体的には、50gほどで1万円、高級なものであれば2万円を軽く越える。このエンジェル・ギフトのものであれば、おそらく10gでも、10万円は下らないだろう。黄金よりも高価という事になる。
 【The Value of Caviar】
One of the world's top three delicacies is sturgeon roe... also known as caviar. It's extremely expensive because it takes at least 10 and up to 20 years for the sturgeon itself to grow to the point where it can lay eggs, and because sturgeon are endangered due to overfishing. Specifically, 50 grams of caviar costs around 10,000 yen, and more high-end caviar of the same weight easily exceeds 20,000 yen. 10 grams of caviar from Angel Gift would probably cost no less than 100,000 yen. This makes it is more valuable than gold.

 ORO MARINO
El caviar –huevas de esturión– está considerado como un manjar en todo el mundo. Por término medio, una hembra de esturión tarda entre 10 y 20 años en alcanzar la madurez suficiente para producir huevos. Esto, combinado con la pesca indiscriminada, ha disparado los precios de este producto. Si el caviar convencional es caro, el procedente de un don divino puede superar diez veces ese precio.

Creature Log[]

Endless Ocean Luminous[]

Description[]

"A mutated sturgeon that has become the stuff of legend in some waters. It is estimated to be over one hundred years old, but little else is known about this rarely sighted specimen. Caviar made from sturgeon eggs is widely considered a delicacy, putting this and other sturgeon species at risk of exploitation and other threats."

Location[]

Endless Ocean 2[]

      Lady Dorthea can be found swimming just above the seafloor in the deep areas of northwest Ciceros Strait, but only during the day. She has no pre-requisites for unlocking her, meaning she can be found from the player's first dive there onward.

      Endless Ocean Luminous[]

      Lady Dorthea can be found in fresh water locations.

      Dialogue[]

      Endless Ocean 2[]

      Favorite Creature[]

      Jean-Eric: "Amazing! It's the legendary Lady Dorthea! I've never seen her before. Caviar of the finest quality can be obtained from a sturgeon of this size. Not that I'd ever support killing such a magnificent creature just to harvest a so-called delicacy. People would pay a lot of money for a fish like this, but to me she's priceless."

      Behavior[]

      Endless Ocean 2[]

      Lady Dorthea can be found swimming from C-1 to E-1 without much aim, drifting very close to the seafloor between the wrecks of the Flamingo and Pride of Athens. Her trivia can be unlocked by taking a picture of her.

      Notes[]

      • This is one of Jean-Eric's favorite creatures.
      • Though Lady Dorthea appears a much darker, duller color when seen in Endless Ocean 2, this is just due to her placement within Ciceros Strait being fairly deep underwater, where low-energy light wavelengths, such as reds, disappear.
        • If placed somewhere closer to the surface by modifying the game, her coloration is much more similar to that seen in the marine encyclopedia. This is also reflected in her Endless Ocean Luminous coloration.
      • Prior to Endless Ocean Luminous, Lady Dorthea was the only legendary creature in the series to be closely related to an existing species in the game, while also not having her own species confirmed outright. Everyone else is explicitly confirmed to either be a member of a species found in the Marine Encyclopedia, or their own species entirely. As of Luminous, both the Creature Log and Lady Dorthea's updated binomial nomenclature relate her directly to sturgeons.
      • Lady Dorthea makes a cameo in Rosier Beryllos' UML cutscene, replacing the great sturgeon that normally appears.
