Eels were the main ingredient in jellied eels. (TV: Combat)
Sleeks were giant electric eels which were time-sensitive. (AUDIO: The Thief Who Stole Time) On Funderell, the Wavewalkers worshipped a sleek known locally as Funderell's Daughter, or the Great Sleek. It served as their guardian. They consulted it for advice, and sacrificed to their god. Sartia killed the Great Sleek in self-defence with her staser. According to the Fourth Doctor, she committed deicide. (AUDIO: The Skin of the Sleek)
According to the First Doctor, there were giant eels on Venessia, although he may have been thinking of Enlandia instead. (PROSE: The Ark)
In the 40th century, eels were among the sea creatures mutated to giant size by an unexploded H-bomb lost off the coast of Spain two thousand years earlier. Pete Nesbit and Hal of the Marine Rescue Brigade discovered an eel that was eighty feet long. (COMIC: The Sea Monsters)
