The '''Sarumarine''' is the boss of [[Zoness]] in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' piloted by a nameless primate who spoke with a heavy, stereotypical pirate voice. The ship itself, by its name, can submerge and emerge in water. Sarumarine is actually the base. The tankers are transporting cargo between one Sarumarine to the other. | |||

During the Lylat Wars, word was received to Cornerian intelligence that a base was on Zoness, a fact that also surprised General Pepper. Star Fox then had to sneak into Zoness and start a bombing raid on the base, destroying the radar searchlight buoys to maintain cover. Unfortunately, the Sarumarine had managed to spot them halfway and waited for them at the end, even after all of the buoys were destroyed. It then attempted to sneak attack the Star Fox team and Katt Monroe by releasing explosive barrels and then revealed itself. After it's snorkels were destroyed by the Star Fox team, it then attempted to fix any damages from the team (such as any detachments of the cannon/mine units) with it's crane, although Star Fox managed to destroy the crane. Afterwards, it was eventually sunk by Star Fox. | During the Lylat Wars, word was received to Cornerian intelligence that a base was on Zoness, a fact that also surprised General Pepper.
