"The name Eascaal is derived from old Dunfolk folktales, which originated from Dunfolk whalers. The name basically means “Serpent of the Deeps” in old Dunfolkan, but the rarely seen creature is more commonly referred to as the Leviathan Eeel.
In tales involving the Vengeful Waif, it is said that Leviathan Eels are her servants, and that they were born from her discarded strands of hair. Feeding on the endless hatreds and violence of mankind, these hairs grew and became gargantuan beyond comprehension."
