These slug-like creatures form colonies in caves. They dwell in cyst-like
burrows in the stony walls, and whenever prey passes they strike out,
typically from both sides of the passage. Striking range varies from 3-5
feet. The creaturemust withdraw into its cyst to recoil for another strike.
A cave moray has an armor class 5 body, but it's sofast that there is only
a 1 in 20 chance of striking one thus exposed.

Cave morays have brownish-gray skin. Their heads are knobby and
splotched, and their eyes are dull brown and bulbous, and they look like
rock.
