Drophyd
From Ratchet & Clank wiki
The Drophyds were a race of fish-like aliens originating from Planet Zaurik. They were minions of Percival Tachyon and were the primary enemy race, along with the space pirates, of Tools of Destruction. They were persuaded to form the basis Tachyon's army after being bribed with Raritanium. Their armored suits were designed to contain water or some other liquid for them to breathe in. It was possible that the Drophyds had gills and could not survive outside of an aquatic environment. When their armor was destroyed, the Drophyds could be seen flopping around on the floor, in their raw form, indicating that they were, in fact a race of intelligent fish. They could be killed for extra bolts when in raw form, but also could be stepped on, which also resulted in death for the Drophyd. The armour they wore was based on Lombax nanotechnology made from materials stolen by the Space Pirates. Their most obvious feature was their eyes; which were very large and yellow.
A Drophyd talked when Ratchet first crash-landed on the second visit to Fastoon. The Imperial General sounded similar and was likely to be a Drophyd.
