The Latcher has the lowest vitality out of all the current abyssal creatures.
The Latcher will also ram its body into the submarine on occasion, causing further hull damage. Additionally, it will bring itself closer to the submarine and start biting at the hull, causing hull damage. Once the Latcher's tongue has made contact, it will drag the submarine into the depths of the Abyss at rapid speeds. It will then approach the submarine again and attempt once more to attach its tongue to the submarine. If this attack misses, it will retreat and observe the submarine from a safe distance. The Latcher will initially use its tongue to attack submarines. Once the tongue makes contact with a target, the Latcher will only let go if it feels threatened, wishes to attack from a new angle, or has eaten whatever it has caught. Within the mouth of this creature hides an incredibly long tongue which can extend up to 45 meters. It has four legs which make its signature on the sonar easy to identify. Its many teeth are used to consume smaller living beings, though it has been observed to feast on corpses lost to the depths. It has several eyes which glow, revealing its position to anyone gazing through windows or a periscope.
The Latcher is a large creature which resides in the Abyss.
