Eels are long, scaleless, snake-like fish that lurk in crevices and weed and dart out to seize passing prey. The giant marine eel grows large enough to drag down a diver, striking from a reef-hole with a vise-like bite. The electric eel discharges a paralyzing jolt through the water to stun its quarry. All are slippery, hard to grasp, and quick to retreat to their lairs between strikes.

Behavior

  • Lie hidden in holes, weed, or wrecks and ambush passing creatures
  • Strike with a sudden lunge and a clamping bite
  • Electric breeds release a stunning shock through the water
  • Retreat to the lair if a fight turns against them

Abilities

  • Clamping Bite. A vise-grip bite that holds and worries prey.
  • Electric Shock (electric eel). A paralyzing discharge through the surrounding water.
  • Slippery. Difficult to grapple or pin.

Drops & Crafting

  • Tough oily skin (waterproofing, leather)
  • Rich fatty meat
  • Electric organ (alchemical/charge reagent)
