During the fourth Demonite War, the Demonite Empire bred several species of oceanic creatures to massive sizes for use as living war machines. Among these creatures were giant remoras, bred with immense strength for their size, they would attach themselves to human ships and keep them trapped at sea, leaving the occupants stranded and unable to resist subsequent assaults, or even drag the ship at top speed to a sheltered cove filled with Demonite soldiers to speed up the assault. After the war ended, the giant remoras simply returned to life as remora fish do, attaching to bigger creatures and eating the parasites off their host's body. |
