Revision as of 11:17, 22 September 2016

This article is about the Jellyray. You may be looking for the Rabbit Ray, Ghost Ray or the Crimson Ray.

Template:Class 2 Fauna The Jellyray is a type of passive life form, belonging to the fauna category, that can be found roaming in the Mushroom Forest or the Deep Grand Reef biomes.

Appearance

The Jellyray possesses a translucent, constantly glowing body. It has a long, thin tail and six smaller undulating tentacles protruding from both of its sides. Its main body glows a violet hue, with bright pink patterns on its back.

The Jellyray has six circles of various sizes on each side of its torso. These circles could possibly be its eyes, however it is unknown what their purpose is.

Behavior

Jellyrays aimlessly glide around, dragging their tentacles behind them when doing so.

They are also curious about light, and can usually seen investigating any nearby light sources.

Trivia

The Jellyray has two subspecies, the Ghostray and the Crimson Ray, and is related to the Rabbit Ray. This is confirmed by the PDA datalogs, which states that they all share a common ancestor.
Jellyrays possess highly poisonous flesh and as such, they have few natural predators.
Jellyrays are bottom-dwellers, preferring to glide over the seabed. This suggests they're detritivores - surviving from organic waste that settles down on the seabed. This is further supported by the databank entry of the Ghost Ray.

Data Bank Entry

Shares some evolutionary traits with the Rabbit Ray, including highly poisonous flesh. This species has adapted to low-light environments with a translucent, luminescent body. This may help to:

Light up the surrounding area for foraging
Ward away predators
Identify the organism to others of its kind

Smaller creatures have been seen swimming in the jellyray's wake to take advantage of the light source for their own ends.
