Rhynchocinetesproboscis
Jellylephant
Field Report Summary
Physical Description
A translucent, bell-shaped marine invertebrate, approximately 1 meter in diameter. It pulsates slowly through the water using rhythmic contractions of its bell. Instead of typical jellyfish tentacles, it has a short, prehensile trunk-like appendage similar to an elephant's trunk, which it uses to manipulate objects and gather food. Its bell is speckled with bioluminescent spots that glow softly in the dark. It lacks a defined brain but exhibits complex behaviors and problem-solving abilities.
Habitat
Deep ocean trenches and dimly lit marine caves.
Dietary Behavior
Filters microscopic organisms from the deep-sea currents.
Evolutionary Origin
A product of deep-sea adaptation, resulting in an elephantine organism composed primarily of gelatinous tissues.
Behavioral Notes
Emits bioluminescent patterns to communicate and attract mates in the dark depths.
