Jellyfish are omnivorous ocean-dwelling creatures displaying characteristics typical of both [[Cephalopodoid]]s and [[Cnidarianoid]]s. They prefer the benthic zone of sheltered coastal shallows. They mass approximately 800 kg, with a saucer-shaped neutrally buoyant body surrounded by a fringe of beating tentacles. At the lowest point of the body is a mass of manipulator tentacles and sensory stalks surrounding a mouth, and towards the rear is a muscular extendable ‘foot’ that allows the creature to anchor itself in place. They communicate through the use of “song”, deep booms and rumbles and clicks that can carry for hundreds of kilometers. | Jellyfish are omnivorous ocean-dwelling creatures displaying characteristics typical of both [[Cephalopodoid]]s and [[Cnidarianoid]]s.

Jellyfish carry a number of small (20kg) semi-independent organisms called “Squids” within their body. Squids can be ejected as required and sent to carry out simple tasks, usually gathering food or resources. Squids can move on land as well as in water but they can only survive for a limited period on their own, needing to return to their parent Jellyfish to receive nutrition and remove body waste – they are able to “download” their memories and experiences at the same time. They can either re-enter the body or latch onto a specialised tentacle to achieve this. If squid are lost, Jellyfish are able to grow replacements as required. | Jellyfish carry a number of small (20kg) semi-independent organisms called “Squids” within their body.
