[[File:SisForSkyeel.png|thumb|left|200px|S is for Skyeel]]They look similar to the moray eels found on Earth, but have an extra pair of larger flowing fins along their sides with air pouches tucked under them that help the skyeel fly. These pouches deflate as the skyeel dives and are refilled as the skyeel extracts lighter-than-air gasses from its prey during the digestive process. Small, blue, fish-like spren are usually found darting around flying skyeels and are believed to help them fly. Like moray eels, skyeels have a second set of jaws, known as pharyngeal jaws.{{url ref|url=http://inkthinker.deviantart.com/art/The-Way-of-Kings-Skyeels-180124400|text= Sanderson's instructions to Inkthinker for the skyeel page of Shallan's notebook |site=Deviant Art}}

Skyeels have pale bellies so that they camouflage with the sky from below and dappled skin on their back that lets them blend in with the water they fly over from above. {{url ref|url=http://inkthinker.deviantart.com/art/The-Way-of-Kings-Skyeels-180124400|text= SandersonInkthinker's instructionsnotes to Inkthinker foron the skyeelSkyeel page offrom Shallan's notebookNotebook |site=Deviant Art}}
