Hanging Necarrow

The Necroeel split from its ancestor, the Hanging Necarrow. It now is a nektonic predator that feeds on small fauna. It has grown longer and swims by undulating its body up and down. Its telson has become more fin-like in order to aid in propulsion. It's bioelectric patches have adapted to both detect predators and prey and discharge electricity, which it uses to stun and/or kill its prey. The electricity it discharges is enough to kill small prey items like gillarills and speckled spinderorms, but it only stuns larger prey like southern gillfins. The range of its electrical discharge is about two meters in diameter. If its prey is not killed by the electricity, it will finish its prey off by repeatedly biting it with its sharp mandibles. If threatened by a predator, they will stun them with electricity to give them a chance to escape. However, larger creatures like scylarians are barely affected by the electricity. Young necroeels are harmless filter-feeding zooplankton. Once they grow to be about two centimeters long, they will develop their ability to discharge electricity and hunt snatcherswarmers, guhnuhs, and small genus group species.
