Eel
The eels are sea monsters; they are comprised of the giant eel and electric eel. The kraken is sometimes categorised with them as well. They are referred to as a group by virtue of the drowning attack they share.
Encyclopaedia entry
The behaviour of eels in fresh water extends the air of mystery surrounding them. They move freely into muddy, silty bottoms of lakes, lying buried in the daylight hours in summer. [...] Eels are voracious carnivores, feeding mainly at night and consuming a wide variety of fishes and invertebrate creatures. Contrary to earlier thinking, eels seek living rather than dead creatures and are not habitual eaters of carrion.
