Dudley's dungeon

The giant eelThe behaviour of eels in fresh water extends the air of
mystery surrounding them.  They move freely into muddy, silty
bottoms of lakes, lying buried in the daylight hours in summer.
[...]  Eels are voracious carnivores, feeding mainly at
night and consuming a wide variety of fishes and invertebrate
creatures.  Contrary to earlier thinking, eels seek living
rather than dead creatures and are not habitual eaters of
carrion.

d - Vorpal"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
  The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
  The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand;
  Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
  And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
  The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
  And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
  The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
  He went galumphing back.

its time in the water.
        [ Oxford's Student's Dictionary of Current English ]

"Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."
