Neon Eel

Fish Facts
Neon Eels are a particularly interesting local eel species known for their luminescnent qualities. "Neon" isn't just a euphemism, either, these eels quite literally have organs that operate in exactly the same fashion as neon lights. The process works something like this: the eels have these capillary tubes running through their bodies, and they secrete a chemical into them that turns into a gas at their body temperature. This gas is then electrified using similar organs to those found in electric eels, causing it to emit light. These organs are quite complex, and allow for a wide range of color, though the most common color in these eels is green, of course. The neon eel uses their light producing organs to dazzle, and in some rare cases hypnotize their prey. In the event that neon eels are pursued by predators, they can crack themselves like a glowstick to spill out their chemical secretions, which are toxic, to defend themselves from attack. The rich elites of NLACakaNM use aquariums full of neon eels to light their opulent estates and offices.
