These enemies are similar to Tersquals.

Description

Violent aquatic giants that attack anything around them, save for others of their kind. This behavior is due to their highly developed social tendencies, which are most easily observed in their pair-bond relationships. Young are reared by both parents, and after the female has successfully incubated an egg, the hatchling is taken into the male's mouth for protection. The female's temperament then becomes more volatile than usual, motivating it to attack all it sees in order to keep her child and mate fed.

Once mature, the offspring leaves its parents in search of other colonies.
