Creature 12: Delele

Delélés, also known as mole eels, are small little animals that tunnel around in the dirt, trying to find any worms or nutrients they can gnash off of. Delélés, similar to regular electric eels, can store, generate, and discharge large volts of electricity, which they mostly use to stun predators and shed light, since they're mostly nocturnal. Delélés may look small, but due to their stretchy and squishy bodies, they can expand their bodies and mouths to incredible proportions. They're also a very cowardly species, and will emit electricity whenever they sense something they don't like or trust. After they do, they immediately dive down into the ground, not to be seen for up to 2-4 days.
