Albino Morays

From The Fifth City Wiki
(Redirected from Albino Moray)

"Pale and savage as a wolf-moon; toothed to rival the greatest of whales; and quick to take offence. Don't tease the beast. You'll be lucky to lose a leg."[1]

Albino Morays (one may infer the existence of a regular-colored moray) are very large and very ugly eels that hunt across the Unterzee.[2] They possess sharp hooked teeth, and their skin is tough and coated in paralyzing slime.[3] Despite these dangers, some adventurous tomb-colonists may allow an Albino Moray to swallow them whole: the Moray's internal secretions are apparently quite good for the skin.[4]

You know what they say: when you're zailing the zee, and an eel makes you flee... that's a moray.
