Limpets are a type of amphibious submarine that were introduced in Predator's Gold.
Functions[]
The limpets resemble spiders and crabs. They can latch onto the bottom of a city. The Limpet has room for about three crew members. Located under the sleeping cabin is the fish bay. It has room for ten message-fish (described as looking like "a sleek silver torpedo"). Reports are placed inside the nose and the message-fish is launched from under the limpet and will head towards Grimsby.
