Judy, John and Maureen Robinson with a fuel eel
The fuel eels were creatures found on the unknown planet on Netflix's Lost in Space.
History[]
After salvaging their Jupiter spacecraft, the Jupiter 2, from a lake, the Robinsons discovered that the fuel on their vessel was quickly being drained. They soon discovered that their vessel was infested with eels, which were feeding on the fuel. They concocted a plan to lure the eels to the fuel tank, where they would burn up on ignition. The plan was successful, but resulted in the loss of almost all of the vessel's fuel. ("Infestation")
The fuel eels consumed the fuel of the other Jupiter vessels of the 24th Mission that crashed on the planet as well, but one such vessel, the Jupiter 18, was spared thanks to having crashed in a desert area. A group of colonists led a mission to salvage it, but it ended up being lost as well. ("Pressurized")
