Field record
It rests coiled against the underside of rock ledges with its back against the stone, so the pale length of its belly reads as nothing more than a seam in the overhang until it moves. I have logged three ledges now that turned out to be occupied the whole time, and each one only became an eel the moment it dropped.
Marginal note: “the crack in the ledge was never a crack”
Habitat
ZoneMidnight Zone
Depth range1,300–2,100 m
DiscoveryNo special condition — found simply by piloting close enough to identify it.
Catching it
A Midnight-tier catch needs at least a Braided Net— anything under that rating can never hold it, whatever the throw. Bought at the Quartermaster’s counter for 300 crystals. A held net inks this entry for good and pays its ledger bonus on the spot.
