Jellyray

The Jellyray is a passive fauna species that can be found roaming in the Mushroom Forest and Deep Grand Reef.

Appearance
The Jellyray possesses a translucent, constantly glowing body. It has a long, thin tail and six, smaller undulating tentacles protruding from each side of its body. The main body glows a violet hue, with bright pink patterns on its back, the rest of the creature glows a light blue colour.

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 and emitting high pitched cries.

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

Trivia

 * The sounds of the Jellyray were created from wolf howls.
 * The Jellyray is closely related to 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.
 * The data bank entry also suggests that Crimson Rays and Ghostrays had a predatory 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 Spadefish.
 * His shape is similar to the Facehugger, creature from the Ridley Scott movie Alien
