Electric Eel

Creature 1 — animal, aquatic

Usually found in freshwater rivers and lakes, an electric eel is not particularly aggressive, but its ability to stun predators and prey alike can be dangerous to larger creatures searching for their next meal. Electric eels are more closely related to catfish than to other eels. Although these long, narrow fish share similarities in appearance, eels are a diverse group of creatures.
