'''Skyeels''' are a flying creature on [[Roshar]], typically found in coastal regions. Adult skyeels are typically 4-5 feet long, but are known to grow as long as 7 feet.{{file ref|skyeel.jpg|text=Skyeel page from Shallan's portfolio}}

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.{{ref|name=bens-notes}}
 
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.{{ref|name=bens-notes}}
