== Appearance and Anatomy ==

{{image|Skyeel by Abigail Barker.jpg|side=left|height=200px}}

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. Like moray eels, skyeels have a second set of jaws, known as pharyngeal jaws.{{ref|name=bens-notes}}
