-*Their electrical attacks deal significant damage and it's uncommon to have rElec early in the game. Even worse, they often appear in pairs or small groups. Simply charging in to fight them, especially when wading through [[shallow water]], is suicide.
+*Simply charging at electric eels is unwise. Their Electrical Bolt deals significant damage, ignores 1/2 of your AC, can bounce off of walls to [[doublezap|hit you twice]]. It's rare to have rElec this early in the game, and they often appear in small groups.
-*They are one of very few monsters to lack a melee attack.  Unfortunately, this makes them more dangerous, as they will continue to spam their electrical attack even when you are in melee range.
+*Eels cannot traverse outside water, and like all monsters, cannot attack when outside your [[line of sight]]. So, by keeping the eel at the edge of your LOS, you can safely pelt it with ranged attacks. If the fight goes poorly, retreat - it can't chase you on land.
-*Certain wands are very effective against electric eels. A [[wand of mindburst]] will often do enough damage to kill them outright, while a [[wand of flame]] (or any [[Fire Magic]] in general) will leave behind steam [[cloud]]s, dealing damage and possibly blocking [[line of sight]]. A [[wand of polymorph]] won't kill one, but will leave you with a much more manageable opponent.
+*Certain [[wand]]s are particularly effective against electric eels:
-*When all else fails, just walk away; they can't leave their pools, and they give lousy experience anyway. If you're caught out in the open, you can read a [[scroll of fog]] or [[scroll of fear]] to give yourself some time to escape.
+**[[Wand of flame]]: When a wand of flame passes over water, it creates damaging [[steam]] clouds. Eels don't have much HP, so the steam alone is often enough to kill the eel outright.
