Currently, it can only be seen through the use of mods.+  ## Appearance   The Tar Eel's skin seems to shift constantly, as if to mimic the appearance of tar. It has a long, slender central body, with four fin-like appendages which terminate in long talons, and a large, gaping mouth.   ## Behavior   The Tar Eel swims just beneath the surface of tar lakes, causing a noticeable ripple effect. Depending on the distance from the player, it will attack in two ways:   *   **Long Range:** When the player is far away, the eel will spit tar at them. *   **Close Range:** When the player is close, it will rear up and bite them.   ## Gallery   ### In Game   ![A Tar Eel lurking in a pool of tar.](Tar Eel lurking.jpg) *A Tar Eel lurking in a pool of tar.*   ![A Tar Eel spewing tar.](Tar Eel spewing tar.jpg) *A Tar Eel spewing tar.*   ### Development   ![A very early placeholder Tar Eel model.](Tar Eel Ingame.png) *A very early placeholder Tar Eel model.*   ## Trivia   *   The Tar Eel was first seen in [Subnautica 2 | Dev Vlog - Swimming Forward](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnnucBrqeKQ), during which a snippet of its concept art was shown.
