"Playful. Heavily armoured. Cheerful. Psychotic."[1]
Plated Seals are heavily armored, serpentine creatures that grow to around fifteen feet long. These creatures lurk in the iciest, most turbulent waters of the Unterzee, and they're capable of leaping great heights when "investigating" nearby ships.[2][3] They are a wonderful combination of friendly, playful, and intensely bloodthirsty.[4]
