Jelly is a jellyfish alien who crash landed on the Birdhouse planet. It is currently living as Illura's tenant in a cherry wood house just outside of spawn.

Personality

Jelly is a curious entity, and very susceptible to peer pressure. It doesn't always know when to take things seriously. It's very interested in humanoid behavior, and will observe or do things just to see how others will react. Jelly's 24 eyes are very simple, and aren't very good at distinguishing much more than dark and light; because of this, they need a spyglass to see things even at short distances, and cannot read signs without glow ink, which they will provide for themself if necessary.

Appearance

Jelly is a sentient jellyfish, its body resembling that of a box jellyfish with far more tentacles. Their small, simple eyes just look like white spots scattered around their bell. They have a bioluminescent pattern resembling a moon jellyfish on the top of their bell, but it is covered up by their kelp wig. Jelly makes itself look more humanoid by wearing a short messy kelp wig and a pair of glasses that are taped to its head. It sometimes draws simple, cartoonish eyes on the lenses to convey emotion or just to simulate eye contact. It usually wears a denim vest, a t-shirt, and dark jeans.

History

Backstory

Jelly is from a far off gas planet. They were bored of the simple live of a Cnidarian, so they got on a spaceship and flew out to seek out more interesting places. They were alone in space for a long time before finally crashing on the Birdhouse planet and making a life for themself there.

In the Server

On the server launch day, Illura built Jelly a house near his own house in the cherry biome above the spawn valley. This made her their landlord, and in return they let him store a mysterious chest in their house.

When skulk spread into the ice chest at spawn, Jelly was the first to drink the water from it, and Alphys followed suit.

Rhubarb allowed Jelly and Eve to break into his secret room before anyone else, and threatened them both into secrecy.

Jelly followed a mysterious map found in its mailbox to Squidbeak's Spire and sacrificed a glow ink sac, granting them Squidbeak's Blessing and causing a severe storm.

Abilities

• Squidbeak's Blessing - Infinite water breathing and underwater dark vision. Granted to them by Captain Squidbeak through a mysterious ritual.
• Wet Soul - Jelly can be harmed by fire, but cannot catch on fire continuously. Probably because their soul is wet, and not because of any identifiable game mechanics.
• Riptide - Jelly's trident allows it to throw itself into the air when touching water or rain.

Relationships

Illura: Illura is Jelly's landlord, and built their house for them. Illura has killed Jelly many times but it doesn't seem to mind.
