History

Just before the Deep Sea King's forces strike J-City, the Messenger rises out of the ocean and marches on the townspeople, proclaiming that anyone who wishes to live must kneel and serve the Seafolk. His speech is cut short when Saitama appears and ends him in one punch. Classed as a Wolf-level menace, he ranks as a comparatively feeble monster, yet his sheer bulk, standing at least as tall as a building, lends him considerable physical strength that ordinary people cannot withstand. He holds the distinction of being the first Wolf-level threat shown in the anime and the largest such Mysterious Being in the series.
