A river hunter that can hide beneath deep water. It surfaces beside prey to bite. After a bite, it has a 50% chance to try retreating. If cornered, it can bite again.
| Encounter | Overworld wildlife |
|---|---|
| Overworld Wildlife base | 12 health, 4 melee attack damage. |
| Overworld Wildlife awareness | 6 tile base detection range and 10 tile pursuit range. Uses sight. Walls, darkness and concealment can affect detection. |
| Overworld Wildlife movement | Can move diagonally as well as north, south, east and west. |
| Overworld Wildlife retreat | Can flee at or below 25% of its maximum health. |
| Overworld Wildlife water movement | Moves in deep water in fresh water. |
| Overworld Wildlife diving | Starts beneath the water. After acting, it stays submerged on deep water when no prey is beside it. It surfaces when it reaches prey and to bite. A submerged eel is normally hidden and cannot be aimed at or hit by spells. Detect Hidden can reveal it beneath the surface, but does not bring it within attack reach. |
| Overworld Wildlife bite and retreat | After biting while beside prey, it has a 50% chance to begin retreating. It spends four of its own actions moving or waiting clear of prey, keeping a distance of about 4 tiles where possible. If cornered beside prey with no escape, it can bite again instead. |
