Species description

Mirecoil are long-bodied semi-aquatic fenborn that brace against roots with rows of small ventral hooks. Enlarged jaw muscles let them crack freshwater shellfish while their vibration-sensitive lower jaw detects movement through mud.

Observed behavior

Field note

Abandoned Mirecoil burrows become refuge chambers for fish when surface water warms. Old drainage culverts can mimic natural burrows and attract them into dangerous road crossings during floods.

Keeper handling note

Placement & contact

Culvert extraction, flood rescue, bank-restoration transfer, and documented sanctuary-to-wild attunement.

This dossier describes the species. Individual care, temperament, provenance, and bond history are kept in the creature’s own record.
