Grief-Touched Eel

Resonance-Saturated Deep-Water Eel

← Back to Adversaries
Tier 1 Minion Difficulty 11

A deep-water eel saturated with resonance. Confused, not malicious.

Grief-Touched Eel

Tier 1 Minion

Motives & Tactics:

Grief-Touched Eels haunt the reef approach (Zone 1) of the sunken settlement, their bodies threaded with violet resonance-light. They cannot tell friend from threat, and a calm hand can redirect them as readily as a blade can end them.

Difficulty: 11 | Thresholds: 7/14 | HP: 3 | Stress: 0

ATK: 1 | Thrash: Very Close | 1d6+1 phy

Features

Grief-Blinded - Passive: The eel cannot distinguish friend from threat. On a Hope result in any social or calming roll, it can be redirected rather than fought.

Resonance Thrash (Fear Move — 1 Fear) - Action: The eel releases a pulse of violet light — all PCs in Very Close range mark 1 Stress.

Defeated Resolution - Passive: When the eel is defeated or successfully calmed, it dissolves into grief-light and drifts upward in tendrils — a small moment of grace in Zone 1.
