Description
Apex Predator Of Their Territory. The Bloated Eels are the fiercest creatures roaming the water which surrounds and runs through the Forgotten Isle, based on rumors that are said by those who have managed to survive the journey. Gargantuan in size and deceptively quick, these relentless hunters kill for pleasure more than anything else. They do not require sleep, always hunting, always moving.
The strange magicks of the Forgotten Isle have been kind to these once small hunters. In addition to their monstrous size and speed, they are capable of absorbing electricity, and sending it back when they strike. A potent weapon for one that hunts underwater.
The six tentacles that sprout from the eel's back are used as a means to grapple and strangle its prey. They have been known to sometimes lift restrained prey above the water to suffocate them. To those that have been held in such a way, they describe it as the most cruel way to die, as they die slowly and painfully.
Three Heads Are Better Than One. In addition to its own very large head, filled to the brim with razor-sharp, serrated teeth, the eel has two additional heads on either side of its body. These heads can extend a short distance and are used to prevent anything from sneaking up on the eel as it swims.
Not Bound By Water. While the eel isn't capable of breathing air, it is able to hold its breath for a significant amount of time. With the use of its powerful forearms and tentacles, they achieve a decent amount of mobility on land, even able to climb trees if needed. It is rare that one of these eels exists in the water, but if a particularly resilient meal escapes, then there is no telling what lengths the eel might resort to. They also might deny larger creatures, such as the Krabken, a meal by slithering onto land, but in the case of a Krabken, the eel never gets away as the Krabken, although adapted for mobility underwater, is much better at terrestrial mobility than the Bloated Eel.
