Weed Eels are a specific variety of venomous eels which have excellent natural camouflage; indeed, a group of weed eels looks very much like a bunch of seaweed due to their “shaggy” scales and coloration. An individual weed eel is around 5 feet long and weighs about 300 pounds. Colonies of weed eels live in chaotic networks of tunnels with multiple “holes” or entrances arranged in clusters, and by extending themselves from these holes they complete the illusion of being just a patch of weeds.
Special Abilities
Camouflage: Weed eels surprise on 1-5 on 1d6 due to their camouflage, and will lie in wait for potential victims to move close enough to attack.
Poison: The bite of a weed eel will kill any living creature that fails a save vs. Poison.
