How to catch Fire Eel
Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.
- Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
- Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
- Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.
First catch: the creature is added to the Omnidex. Offer it to Mors at the Omni-Gallery to put it on display and unlock its Omnipedia entry.

The overall shape of the fire eel closely resembles that of a moray eel, but taxonomically, it belongs to the Synbranchiformes order and is more closely related to asian swamp eels.
Despite this, fishing enthusiasts still prefer to nickname it the "firespark eel" rather than the "firespark swamp eel."
