The eelkin is a member of the animal kingdom that looks like and lives the life of a plant. It has several snakelike appendages stretching from a central core. It roots itself in one spot and feeds off the nutrients found in the ground. It is known to plant itself on a rotten log or corpse and prevent other creatures from accessing the nutrients by attacking them with its snakelike appendages if they get too near. Each snakelike appendage has poison fangs and two rudimentary eyes.
