Sperm Whale, specifically Spermaceti: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermaceti
> Etymology The name "sperm whale" is a clipping of "spermaceti whale". Spermaceti, originally mistakenly identified as the whales' semen, is the semi-liquid, waxy substance found within the whale's head.[14] (See "Spermaceti organ and melon" below.)
