== Anatomy ==
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= Inkthinker's notes on the Skyeel page from Shallan's Notebook |site=Deviant Art}}
