Concept Drawing of a Sweel.
Full Sewer Eel concept art with name
The sweel is an aquatic creature that is a cross between a Rat and an eel but was never implemented into the Thief universe.[1] In early concept sketches, it has the appearance of a very long-bodied rodent with large whiskers and tiny limbs. The design was apparently rejected very early in development and has no known mesh data or sound files.
Name[]
The name "sweel" can be found in the Creature Type property in DromEd and on a concept art drawing and is derived from the root eel, with the prefix "sw" as an abbreviation for sewer.[2][3][4]
Fan Made[]
Some attempts have been made to create a usable sweel for Fan Missions and eventually the sweel was fully implemented.[5][6] Two versions made by Joran_MAF (Fire mage) can be downloaded here: sweel version 1, sweel version 2.
