Helas

The Helas were a strange race of amphibious serpentine creatures native to the damp world of Enaleh. They resembled a snake or eel and travelled in the air around their world. This was not done through wings but rather by an internal organ that acted almost like a repulsor engine. They were filter feeeders but catched their prey in the air rather then in the water. The offspring of the creature evolved in the water buta s they entered adulthood they flew in the air. Their head resembled large baskets with four jaw-like flaps that opened up to catch small insects. Four tentacles were present on the four corners of their mouth which were, presumably, used to detect prey.

Scientists have been studying the Helas to determine how exactly the organ that allows them to fly works.
