sewage eel

The skin of this sly fish is slick and diaphanous. It writhes around Golgotha's fetid pools unseen, wrapping itself around the legs of hapless trudgers and drawing them into the guck.

Perfect

sewage eels are fish that are able to spawn hidden in liquids with volume greater than 1,000 drams like black ooze, green goo, and brown sludge.

When hidden, the eel technically does not exist, but rather a spawning object. This object does not move, and a static amount is generated when the ooze/goo/sludge is created. For example, black jells have an 80% chance to spawn a puddle of black ooze in all tiles adjacent to it, with a 25% chance those puddles will contain a sewage eel spawner.

The spawning tile can be searched from an adjacent tile. This happens passively when the creature walks next to the spawning tile, and the creature will have a chance based on their intelligence score to reveal the eel. This chance is . This will spawn the eel before it is able to strike.

You spot a sewage eel!

If the eel is still hidden when the spawner is stepped on, there's a 50% chance that the eel will emerge in an adjacent tile from and attempt to trip the creature if the eel is hostile towards it, forcing them to make an agility save of difficulty 16. If the save is successful, the creature will maintain their balance. If not, the effect that will occur upon prone will change depending on the liquid that the creature falls into.

A sewage eel wraps itself around your legs!
