Jellyfish

The Jellyfish is a returning airborne monster in Risk of Rain 2.

Environments

 * Distant Roost (only after Looping)
 * Titanic Plains (only after Looping)
 * Wetland Aspect
 * Siren's Call
 * Sundered Grove
 * Bulwark's Ambry

Skill & Behavior
Jellyfishes spawn on the outskirts of an Environment and typically float in place. Once they spot a target, they fly slowly towards it in a typical swimming motion.

Self-Detonation
When the Jellyfish comes close enough to its target, it glows and prepares to explode. After a moment, it bursts into a large ball of electricity, dealing up to 1000% damage with a proc coefficient of 2.0. However, this charging sequence can be interrupted by attacking the Jellyfish and dealing sufficient damage.

Self-exploded Jellyfish do not drop any gold, although they may still drop items when the is enabled.

Tips

 * While the Self-Detonation suffers from damage falloff, near the center of the explosion it can be lethal. It can effectively one-shot a Survivor if the Jellyfish is an Overloading Elite.
 * Be wary of Glacial Elites. Getting caught in the Jellyfish's detonation will greatly slow the player, making them much more vulnerable to being completely frozen by the following ice blast. Taking any damage from such an Elite makes fleeing from other nearby Jellyfishes extremely difficult, and the player might be swarmed by many exploding Jellyfishes.
 * Interrupting the detonation requires dealing a certain percentage of the Jellyfish's health over a short period of time, meaning that an Elite Jellyfish's Self-Detonation can be difficult to interrupt.

Trivia

 * In the Void Fields, the in-game message for when Jellyfishes first appear incorrectly reads "Jellyfishs have been released from the Cell!"
 * The same error is made when Jellyfishes are spawned from a Shrine of Combat, reading "You have summoned Jellyfishs to fight."
