They are usually long and serpent-like, usually without legs or wings.

They are a variety of shades of blue, from silver-blue to dark blue-green. In fact, their shades cover all the hues of the water in which they reside.

All of them have a silvery hue to their scales with some shade of blue predominant on the belly scales.

They have feathery fringes about their mouths and down their backs.

They have large horny eye sockets set in a rather flat snakelike head.
