Kiaza Eel (Kee-ah-zuh)
Basic Information
Anatomy
Aquatic snake-like creatures, Kiaza Eels have two fins that span the entire length of their body, one centered on top and one on the bottom. They have one singular eye centered on their head above their needle-tooth-filled mouths, which can unhinge at the jaw to latch on to prey. Tiny gills line either side of their bodies, with needle-like bone spines protruding from each one to protect their vital organs.
Genetics and Reproduction
Once impregnated, female Kiaza eels carry the myriad of eggs inside them, where they remain until they hatch.
Ecology and Habitats
Kiaza Eels can survive in both fresh and salt water, as well as most temperatures of water ranging from tropical to arctic. The eels do act differently in different tempatrues of water however, tending to stay in larger packs in the cold to generate more heat to keep them alive, while more smaller packs and lone wolf behavior is observed in tropical environments.
Dietary Needs and Habits
The eels will often form hunting packs, where they encircle their pray and generate a collective electrical charge from their bodies, stunning or even killing their prey before the swarm converges, latching onto the victim’s flesh and violently thrashing to tear of chunks of meat for consumption.
Additional Information
Uses, Products & Exploitation
The Atalanti Republic uses these eels to generate power, storing a few hundred in a vat the absorbs the electrical energy they produce. In addition, they blue blood can be used as a strong dye or ink.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
The Eel’s eye exceeds at seeing in near total darkness, as is required when in the depths of an oceon. In addition, their nostrils have a very acute sense of smell, allowing them both to smell blood in the water from great distances as well as enabling these Eels’ form of communication and coordination through pheromones.
