Jellyfish Habitats
Jellyfish habitats are fictional regions or biomes within an ocean or sea that are inhabited by swarms of floating jellyfish. These fictional areas are often depicted as being tranquil, beautiful, but also potentially dangerous. The jellyfish that are central elements to these areas are often a type of fictional creature, and dazzling displays of bioluminescence are common. The color of these aquatic creatures (calming blues, reds, golden yellows, etc.) strongly influences the tone of the location as does the relative depth of the area below the surface (in the shallows where there is sun or starlight, deep below where there is only darkness, or somewhere in between). The stinging tentacles of the jellyfish may be deadly or damaging, and these regions may be a type of hazardous location.

Designing Fictional Jellyfish Habitats
Overview
The characteristics of the jellyfish themselves is key to the design of these fictional areas. Their color, size, and behavior all influence the tone and aesthetic of the region. Many jellyfish areas feature giant jellyfish that lazily undulate in the current. Others feature jellyfish of unusual or changing colors. Their temperament, whether or not they are aggressive or calm, is another element to consider.
