Trivia

• The sounds of the Jellyray were created from wolf howls
• 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
