River Saucer's legs are designed for swimming, and its arms are equipped with guns specialized for underwater combat. Its signature attack is a powerful beam, which it fires from the dish on top of its head.

The original name of its leg parts ("''sangojou''") is probably a play on ''sangoshou'' (coral reef) and [[wikipedia:Sha Wujing|Sa Gojou]], a character from [[wikipedia:Journey to the West|Journey to the West]] who is sometimes depicted as a kappa.
