LEGO.com Description[edit | edit source]

This is a description taken from LEGO.com. Please do not modify it. (visit this item's product page) Keep an eye on the shadows when this Atlantis guardian is around!

Covered in armored spikes and bristling with razor-sharp claws and teeth, the ferocious, amphibious Shadow Snapper is a deep-sea diver’s worst nightmare! A super-fast combat sub with dual flick-launching torpedoes is the Deep Salvage Crew diver’s only chance to get past this lurking leviathan and retrieve the yellow Atlantis treasure key…but will even this high-speed sub be quick enough for him to escape with the prize? Includes deep-sea diver minifigure.

Includes Shadow Snapper, combat sub and diver minifigure!
Yellow Atlantis treasure key included! Collect them all!
Fire the sub's dual flick-launching torpedoes!
Super-fast sub's propeller really spins!
Snapper measures 8" (20cm) long! Sub measures 5" (12cm) long!
