Lampreys are the elite of Cobra's naval force. They are hand-picked from the best of the Eels but are given even more rigorous training that often involves diving in shark-infested waters and the frigid depths of the Arctic. The intense course often forces more than fifty percent of the applicants to wash out. The result is a trooper that may be considered the true Cobra equivalent of the US Navy S.E.A.L., capable of engaging in amphibious operations and defending Cobra's coastal and underwater outposts.
