The White Steel Eel, or White Sturgeon, (흰철갑장어, Huincheolgabjang-eo) is one of the most common Shinheuh inside the Tower. Adult Steel Eels have a gigantic, snake-like body covered with heavy steel-like armour. Steel Eels typically live in highly dense shinsu environments, so dense that normal people find it is extremely difficult to move around freely.[1] The Steel Eels, however, can move through it at extremely high speeds.[2]
Steel Eels are usually quite passive creatures, but during the breeding season, they need food and also want to protect their young, so they will eat smaller harmless creatures.[3] They typically breed in areas with a high density of shinsu, so dense that even Wolhaiksong Rankers would have some trouble moving in it, except those with miraculous shinsu resistance.[1] One such eel was fought by Baam on the First Floor of the Tower with the help of the Black March.[3]
