- Lampreys are Cobra characters from the A Real American Hero and G.I. Joe vs. Cobra series.
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.

A Lamprey by the name of Thornton was the son of a Second World War Nazi pilot. His father's plane was shot down at sea. Many years later Thornton, in his civilian identity, paid for the plane to be raised to the surface as unbeknownst to others the plane contained Nazi gold. However observing the raise was Shipwreck who discovered the gold. Thornton and another Lamprey sought to kill everyone else at the operation and take the gold, but Shipwreck survived and sabotaged the flotation balloon cables, sending them to a watery grave.[1]
