A pulsating glob of transparent flesh, waiting just below the surface of the water to sting its prey with its many tentacles. The tentacles do little harm on their own, but the poisonous toxins they inject can cause significant damage to muscle tissue.

Useful info

Jellyfish are fragile aquatic monsters with poisonous stings. They flee to deep water when severely injured, and can be found anywhere that water occurs, apart from the first few floors of the Dungeon.

Tips & Tricks

  • Poison resistance renders their attacks virtually harmless. Failing that, having even a modest AC is likely to negate their poison.
  • If poisoned, back off and let yourself recover before fighting them later. There's no sense in letting yourself get stung to death by a monster that can't follow you on land.

History

Jellyfish were removed in 0.14.
