Past
Dark Eels were formed by Dark Gaia shortly after the planet broke apart at the dawn of the Shattered World Crisis. Many of these Dark Eels would often emerge from the Anostos Rift, threatening the city of Meropis.

Act One
One night, when Coral the Betta was unable to perform the Mystic Melody properly and raise the city's shield, many Dark Eels, alongside other Dark Gaia Creatures, attacked Meropis. They would be met with the opposition of Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies, including the Meropis City Guard. Eventually, Coral successfully performed the Mystic Melody with the help of Pearly the Manta Ray and Tikal. They produced a beam of light which destroyed the remaining Dark Eels.

Act Two
While keeping a lookout for the Midesta Egg Army, Big the Cat would run into two Dark Eels. However, they would be no match for the cat as he crushed them both with his bare hands.

Powers and abilities
With their massive bodies, Dark Eels are capable of overpowering their opponents with brute force.
