Read the native kind description at inspection
A slender dark-cobalt eel with a transparent tail, a dotted silver lateral line and small rounded fins; no exaggerated teeth. The eel moves as a still illustrative arc across the deeper basin. Silver points catch the low light; the water remains dark enough to retain depth. Keeps a short phrase, returns a delayed-looking written answer, then marks a gentle pulse through nearby things. This chorus form represents a current-wide pulse. Sound design: Soft ceramic bell and narrow glass shimmer. Native use and wake write its own small state. Its soft reach marks matching answer forms with a pulse. No native audio or automatic image animation.
Named native traits at inspection: wo2-echo-eel-chorus-voice. The guide does not independently test these behaviours.
