Trivia

The Gunfish enemy that appears underwater in Stage 6 of Pulseman resembles to Remoraid, as they are both combinations of fish and revolver pistols.

Origin

Its fame for shooting attacks is like an archerfish, however in all other regards it seems to be based on a remora. It dosen't look like its evolved form, Octillery. They are sometimes seen on mantine aswell.

Name origin

Remoraid's name may be a combination of remora and raid, as in a rapid attack. It may also be taken to incorporate the word mermaid into the name. The teppou it its Japanese name is probably 鉄砲 teppō, gun, as in Water Gun.

In other languages

• German: Remoraid
• French: Remoraid
