At Ripley Castle there's a plaque on a sealed-off tower that marks it as the Eel Tower. I'm pretty sure every castle or dungeon design can benefit from the addition of an eel-breeding area. For one thing, feeding all your denizens can be quite a challenge, and not everyone likes fungus and rats all the time. Plus, a trapdoor chute or two into the eel-pit is a pretty cool trap and keeps the eels fed.

Of course, this makes me think of the Mighty Boosh episode about eels:
I bet I know what song you'll be singing when you add the Eel Pit to your next dungeon!
I definitely support eel pits.
