There are some species of lamprey, however, that live in the ocean as adults. This parallels the Grimora in that they prefer freshwater. After metamorphosing into their adult form, they may migrate to the sea or into lakes. Lamprey also spawns and spend their larval stage in freshwater. To note: only some species of lamprey are parasitic, while others do not feed at all in their adult stage. They attach to the flesh of their prey and bore into their body until they reach blood or other body fluids to feast on.

Lampreys are well-known for their parasitism of fish and have round mouths full of teeth.

That said, they do not have vertebrae, but instead, have another structure just above the notochord called the 'arcualia'. Lampreys are jawless, eel-like creatures with an internal skeleton of cartilage. Overall though, the Grimora's general appearance, mouth, in particular, is reminiscent of lamprey fish. Eight legs are a feature seen in Class Arachnida, which incidentally includes many parasites such as ticks and a variety of mite species. The School of Dragons iteration of Grimora shows small spiky leg-like limbs - four on each side. However, the appearance of their wings, suggests at least some sort of internal structural component.

The Grimora are described as leeches, which are invertebrates. It has a round, sucking, radial mouth filled with rows of teeth around the interior, similar to that of a Whispering Death. It has dragon-like wings and a gray head section that appears to have gill slits. It has a short tubular red body with a blunt tail. Grimora is a parasitic creature that appears about the size of a tiny mouse.

Once they latch on, they crawl under a dragon's scales and inject a toxin that drives a good dragon mad, They're relentless, and we only know one of their weaknesses: salt. The Grimora are worm-like parasites with tiny wings and sharp teeth that latch onto passing dragons.
