A redmaw
Ocean-dwelling eels, the Caraninacmai (Av. "Red Maws" ;Wm."Ikirapara") were among the most dangerous of water beasts. They resided in the reefs in the eastern portions of the Haragaer and the southern reaches of the Romenëar, favoring the ample shelter, rich food sources, and warm waters off Endor's southeastern coast. These seemingly everhungry denizens of the undersea shelf subsisted on sharks and other large fish, battling kraken, whales, and fell turtles for control of the waters. Redjaws were particula rly dominant and dangerous in spring, when the eels returned to their spawning grounds off the coasts of Waw and, Cevra, Arth, and Vulm Shryac. Then, the bright red and silver beasts crowded the reefs, feeding and mating in an awe-inspiring frenzy.
The male redjaw was up to 12 feet long, while the female reached lengths of 45 feet.
