Dreel

Dreels, or trollfingers, were river eels native to the River Reaching, particularly the area of the river between the Misty Stair waterfalls and Skull Gorge.

Description
Somewhere between green and black in color, dreels were relatively short and stocky.

Ecology
Dreels subsisted on algae and carrion, which helped keep the river clean. They felt quite at home in the icy waters of the River Reaching.

As food
In spite of their mucus-like taste, dreels were quite nourishing. Their taste improved considerably if served properly, for example fried or pickled with herbs and spices.

In the 1490s DR, the Cutlass inn in Luskan advertised a "breakfast special" consisting of brandy and dreels.
