Overview
Surge jelly (tentatively Staurobrachia capacitor). A large, complex jelly that hunts with electric shocks — a single animal with far more specialized tissues than Earth jellies. Sense organs called rhopalia coordinate the bell's motion to swim and seek prey. Two rigid fins contain wire-like electrocytes capable of 400 to 1,000 volts at 1 ampere — enough to kill a human. Retains its stalk, a remnant of its growth in a stack of clones. Evidence suggests deep-ocean origins and contact with hydrothermal vents. Jellies communicate through their electric fields and may exhibit learned patterns. Assessment: minor danger in close contact. Fascinating research prospect from a distance.
