Legend

a large, predatory eel native to the Shinkai Abyss on Spira, the Camray was popular among the upper-class game hunters who traveled to the planet for their vacations. They average nearly five meters in length, and live deep below the surface where they feed on sliverfish. Their mouths are lined with sharp teeth, and their muscular bodies allow them to attack their prey with speed and strength. Their fearsome reputation earned them the respect of many hunters, and the acquisition of a Camray Eel spoke to a hunter's skills. Once removed from the ocean and killed, the Camray eel gives off a pungent, foul smell, and must be transported in a sealed container for delivery to a taxidermist.. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance sometimes smuggled information and hard goods from Spira by packing them inside one of these sealed containers.
