Hagfish are eel-like animals with smooth, purple, loose-fitting skin and simple eyes that cannot see far. They have several rows of horizontal teeth in a jawless mouth. This giant variant feeds on the carcasses of large aquatic animals by burrowing into their interior. Giant hagfish are most commonly encountered when another animal–or an adventurer–disturbs such a corpse and the hagfish squirms out of the rotting matter. They are also found hiding in caves or under large rocks. |
