Some dragon eels use such tribes as the core of a pirate fleet or raiding parties carried on their backs. Their ability to swim through air during storms adds to their reputation as terrible thunder spirits. \n**Bribable.** Their deceptive moniker sometimes lulls foolish sailors into a false confidence when they expect to face a simple if dangerous eel beast, but instead find themselves dealing with intelligent draconic kings of the coastal shallows.

To keep screams from disturbing their work, these monsters sever their victim’s vocal chords. \n**Devour Victims.** Once its clutters are done, the stuhac feeds on its live victim, devouring everything but the bones.
