# Specialties

A Coach's badge will help you identify their Specialties. The creature crest provides the Racer [creature(s)](/the-ocean-racing-league/orl-ocean-racers/divisions-and-tiers.md) type they specialize in working with. There are 2 types of Coach Specialty.

### 1. Creature Specialty

Rookie and Veteran coaches buff a particular Racer Creature 'family'. For example, if the badge displays 'Dolphin', the particular coach's buffs will apply to 'Creature trait: Dolphin', 'Dolphin (Pink)' and 'Dolphin (Wizard)'.

### 2. Division Specialty

While the badge of an Elite coach will display their Creature Specialty, these coaches have the added bonus of a Division Specialty *(which trumps Creature Specialty).*

**This means their buffs will also apply to the entire** [**division**](/the-ocean-racing-league/orl-ocean-racers/divisions-and-tiers.md) **that their displayed creature belongs to.**

### Legendary Coaches

Legendary Coaches have multiple Division Specialties. Firstly, Legendary coaches buff all racers of the 'Mythic' Division. On top of that, the initial owner of a Legendary Coach will get to choose a Division Specialty upon minting, for example 'Arctic'. This chosen Division Specialty is change-able anytime for a 50K $PEARL fee.

### Legendary Racers

Legendary racers always receive the same buffs as their coach's Creature or Division Specialty
