This thing... I remember it appearing in so many things from my childhood and adolescence looking like this... so horrific it freaked me out intensely... and it looks more horrific, and real, like this.
From movies to video games, eels that looked like this, colored red, purple, or brown, always freaked me out. To my surprise, I always eat sushi, and unagi sushi, eel sushi, is one of my favorites... hehe... I'm afraid of food...
