Sea lampreys are boneless fish happening in the sea and several rivers. In real life they are bloodsucking parasites that latch to fish and chew on blood, scales and flesh with their sucker-mouths.

'''Sea lampreys''' are a species of [[Creature|fish]] found in any non-[[tropical]] body of [[water]], excluding [[pool]]s. As big as a [[kobold]], they provide a fair amount of returns when [[butcher]]ed.

This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.
A small oceanic eel-like creature that latches onto the side of its victim and tears into them.

Sea lampreys are a species of fish found in any non-tropical body of water, excluding pools. As big as a kobold, they provide a fair amount of returns when butchered. As non-vermin fish, sea lampreys can't be fished by fisherdwarves, but can be caught with the use of a drowning chamber. Infant sea lampreys are called larval sea lampreys.

Some dwarves like sea lampreys for their suckers.

Admired for their suckers.

Despite being called a sea lamprey, they seem to fare perfectly fine in any body of water.

Be afraid.
