Trivia

Design Origin

Like Katuna, it appears to resemble a swordfish -- but now it has been given beady eyes and a ghostly grin, perhaps in reference to its evolution.

Name Origin

Maelstream is a combination of stream (a small, narrow river/ a continuous flow of liquid, air, or gas), and maelstrom (a powerful whirlpool in a sea or river).
