Aberrant Electrophorus — Background & Lore
The Aberrant Electrophorus is the glowing Aberration form of the 
Electrophorus, an electric eel. Its shock damages and slows targets, and all of its attacks build torpor, so it is a dangerous animal to swim near.
Where to find it
It is common in the waters of Aberration and Valguero in both games, and of Crystal Isles in ASE.
Taming
A passive tame, not a knockout. Feed it 
Raw Mutton or 
Cooked Lamb Chop, and watch for its shock while you do.
Breeding
- Egg: hatches in about 5 hours.
- Temperature: the egg accepts a very wide range, so it hatches almost anywhere.
- Growth: a baby matures in about 1.9 days at 1x.
Uses
Underwater defense and support. A tamed Electrophorus shocks for less damage than a wild one, but it still slows targets, and its power grows with other Electrophorus nearby.
Tips
Keep tamed ones in groups. They are much stronger together than alone.
