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.

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.

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.

Trivia

• The Jellyray has one subspecies, the Ghostray which also has a subspecies, 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 - a trait shared with the other ray-species and probably developed by their common ancestor.
• 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.
