However, the seals can still take the unwary by surprise in less-than-ideal conditions. The only time the seal fully loses it translucency is when it consumes its diet of fish or small mammals, during which observers receive a breathtaking (or nauseating) view of the seals’ digestive process.

The stomach of a zimwi is larger than its body, extending extradimensionally and driving the zimwi nearly insane with the constant sensation of emptiness, as though it is starving to death. Because of their endless hunger and low intelligence, zimwi have little awareness of the course of a battle. Losing means only that they have not eaten. As long as they continue to feast, they fight on, feeling victorious until death comes to them or all of their prey.  \n**Stomachs of Holding.** The mage-crafters discovered the secret to turning zimwi stomachs into extradimensional containers similar to bags of holding.
