Giant blind salamanders live in the Sunless Sea and crawl up to the head of Broderick’s River (02.06) to lay their eggs in relative safety. The eggs are cleverly hidden under the overhanging rocks of the cliffs of this ravine and the poison ooze that they are laid in helps keep all but the most persistent predators away. Occasionally the eggs are eaten or a young salamander gets washed downstream into the Ocean of Bitter Regrets, but usually they are able to swim down into the Sunless Sea and rejoin the rest of their kind.
