This eel creature is one to be feared amongst the corals by all it shares residence with. Lingering in the crevice's of the corals it has mastered the art of stealth becoming within striking distance of its prey before launching itself jaws gaping. Like a snake the left and right upper and lower jaws operate separately enabling them to open sideways as well as upward for a greater surface area furthermore they are lined with razor sharp backward tilting teeth gripping prey, making it harder to escape. Equipped with these impressive deadly jaws this creature is capable of devouring larger prey such as sharks. Its abdomen becomes enlarged after eating larger prey which can take weeks to fully digest but these larger meals suggest longer amounts of time between feeding.
Fully grown adults can reach lengths of up to 25 meters shadowing the vast majority of its locals. It prefers to hunt anytime after the sun sets as its eye sight is at is peak in the darkness, also to assist this its whole body is equipped with tiny sensory glands picking up the slightest electrical fields given off by every living thing, although these are only faint the eels glands have no problem identifying them. This helps it to manoeuvre between the smallest of gaps successfully and most importantly pin point the exact location of its prey, enabling it to become close enough to strike without raising the alarm.
A deadly silent predator.
