Salamar

Salamar, also known as Salamar the Sustainer, is an artificial crab monster featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is part of the mainstream Marvel Universe and is associated with the Sub-Mariner line of titles. It made a single appearance in Sub-Mariner #50 in June, 1972. Salamar the Sustainer was an artificial construct made to resemble a sentient crab monster. It was utilized by Prince Byrrah as a means of psychologically tormenting Namor. Byrrah had a remote control transmitter installed in the crab man's mouth piece from which he could project his own voice. He had the corpse of Namor's cousin, Namora, placed within an ice coffin somewhere near the Ross Sea. He also kidnapped Namora's daughter, Namorita. When the Sub-Mariner finally confronted Salamar, Byrrah threatened to kill Namorita, unless Namor agreed to his demands to rebuild the broken kingdom under his supervision. Namor fought back, and damaged the transmitter device. Once realizing that he had been duped, he traced the source of the transmission back to Byrrah, and dealt with him accordingly.
