2. If it managed to survive the severe mauling, why did it wait until it was slashed to pieces and obviously in a horrendous state before it did it's electri eel act and phased out/ disappeared? That makes no logical sense for any intelligent creature. You're going about your business, nefarious or otherwise and get stabbed in the eye, which you loose, what creature that obviously isnt a savage monster, would stick around for some more punishment? That seem ridiculous.

In a VERY violent confrontation you can be mortally wounded and not be aware of your wounds - in humans when they are attacked this way, the brain releases a flood of endorphins that eliminate any pain - the body goes into shock and in this state (if your limbs are intact) you may get up, walk around, at least until the shock wears off or loss of blood overtakes you...This is a medical fact which I know from unfortunate personal experience...this creature may have had a similar reaction - life is extremely tenacious...
I suppose the electrical effect had to do with its death. When it expired a charge was released. The lack of body might have to do with the almost timely arrival of fellow creatures which caused the sleep in the humans and the removal of the body.
Yes I suspect you may be onto something here...also my impression is that this may not be the first time that Dan's family had been visited...and that the visitors simply got careless this time...
Sorry, but I still do not buy into the construction on reality you offer.
