The Harushio Class Attack Submarines were first constructed in 1990, and remained Japan's "top of the line" submarine up until 1997. It was during 1997 that the attack submarine came in contact with the newly awakened monster Dagarah, who swam through the oceans spawning its terrible Barem everywhere it crawled. Few things escaped its loathing touch. Seeing the smoothed Japanese machine, the aquatic behemoth unleashed its crystalline toxins and Barem. Firing from its shoulders like measured cannons, the organic weapons scraped and dug into the reinforced steel plating. Completely thrown off balance from the rocking assault, the vessel could do little as it started to sink closer toward Dagarah. Bellowing into the waves, Dagarah opted to finish off its prey, and slammed its fleshy-scaled body into the multimillion-dollar machine. Destroying the sub in an implosion of bubbling death. Hundreds of souls were cast into that sea, and many more would follow in the wake of the genetic creation Dagarah.
