## Taxonomy

### Description

Jellyfish are similar to bees. They can make buzzing noises, and appear in hives much like bees. They make jelly, in a much similar manner to how bees make honey. However, their jelly is mostly stored within their bodies with some excess jelly left in their hive. Jelly can be extracted commonly by milking or even making them sneeze. Jellyfish can also squirt their jelly at will, usually to annoy or insult their target. Excessive loss of jelly causes them to lose their form; thus, only a small quantity of jelly is taken at a time. A quart-sized jar of jelly seems to be the safest amount of jelly taken from a single jellyfish without causing them harm. Jellyfish jelly's flavor is stated to be "strawberry“, and its color reflects the color of the jellyfish that produces it. The jelly is also extremely delicious, so much so that Mr. Bacon tries to make and sell a Jelly Patty in the episode "The Profit." Their jelly can also be milked from the stingers in a similar manner to cows, as seen in "The Profit."

They can also sting like bees. However, unlike bees, they use electric tentacles to shock intruders instead of non-electric stingers to sting intruders.

#### Physical characteristics

In the series, jellyfish are portrayed in a stereotypical cartoonish manner and are typically light pink, but remain physically similar to their real-world counterparts. They are very small compared to the main characters. They are approximately the size of a Burger, though their sizes are sometimes inconsistent.

Jellyfish, just like bees, also have stingers. But instead, their stings come in the form of their tentacles with an electric shock effect. At most times, characters in the series have been stung by them usually for comical effect and are shown as if they were electrically shocked, with characteristic zapping noises. Enough stings in a small window of time can be mildly discomforting or even life-threatening. One jellyfish in particular, Big Lenny, is known to have fatal stings. However, Antonio has been shown grabbing their stingers without any hand protection and walking away without any stings, signifying that the jellyfish can choose when they want to sting someone. An ointment has been developed to alleviate jellyfish stings and is incredibly fast acting.

#### Ecology

Besse Park, a major location in the Antonio Cool Guy universe, is home to over 10 million jellyfish, according to the episode "Jellyfishing Squad." However, some may drift into Antonio’s Reef Pond but are seldom a nuisance to its denizens. The hunting and catching of jellyfish, known as jellyfishing, is a popular hobby among sea folk, most notably Antonio and his squad. It is similar to butterfly catching and it is typically done only for fun/sport, with the jellyfish being released unharmed. They are usually caught using jellyfish nets or jars. They sometimes spook the reef residents, but never try to hurt them, unless in self-defense. Of course, they can sting at unsuspecting targets at will, where it was shown stinging at an unaware fish or person from behind.

They are in tune with nature and have great rhythm, as seen in ”SICK BEATS”. They are often displayed having typical sentience of wild animals though some have shown specialized knowledge including the ability to open windows, operate electronic music equipment, utilize a pay phone, and imitate walking on the ground.

Most jellyfish tend to float whimsically and aimlessly, but they can move incredibly fast and controlled, especially as a swarm, to chase down someone.

At least 10 jellyfish collectively can carry Antonio into the sky. Antonio, in particular, is extremely fond of the creatures and never tries to intentionally hurt them. Likewise, most jellyfish see Antonio as a friend as they comforted him when his dreams of flying were crushed and later calling on his aid to stop the construction of a farm that would have gone through Besse Park.

## Trivia

* In the real world, jellyfish cannot produce jam, as jam is a man-made food. However, the fact that they can produce jam is similar to how bees can produce honey.
* In the real world, jellyfish do not act like bees, apart from the fact it stings and how it floats.
* The pink jellyfish is the first one that Antonio had planned for the series.
