Jellyfish are passive Mobs found in the Shipwrecked DLC. They float around in the shallow Ocean, sometimes in groups. They will not attack the player if they are approached, but if they are attacked with a melee weapon, they will automatically electrocute the player, doing 5 points of Health damage. They will not actively attack the player. Once killed, their carcass will float in the water until picked up.

Jellyfishes can be caught safely using a Net or a Trawl Net, or killed safely when equipped with an item that provides electrical resistance (such as the Snakeskin Hat or Snakeskin Jacket) - this makes the Jellyfish a great way to restore health at sea. As inventory items, they can be murdered by right-clicking them to produce Dead Jellyfish, which can be eaten to restore health and hunger. Jellyfish can be cooked to make Cooked Jellyfish. It is possible to dry the Jellyfish on a Drying Rack to acquire Dried Jellyfish. Jellyfishes can be used in the Crock Pot, they count as 1 unit of Fishes and 1 unit of Monster.

A Jellyfish placed on the ground will immediately turn in to a Dead Jellyfish. They will have a short animation where they flop twice before settling like any normal Dead Jellyfish.

Jellyfish takes 2 blasts from the Ice Staff to be frozen and 1 Sleep Dart to be put to sleep.

Bugs

 * Attacking a Jellyfish with a Fire Dart, Poison Dart or Obsidian Speargun will cause a shock, dealing 5 points of Health damage, as though the player were using a melee weapon. An equipped item that provides electrical resistance will prevent this damage, just as with a melee attack.
 * When any Dead Jellyfish is picked up from off the ground, it will shock the character and cause 5 points of Health damage. Currently, nothing protects against this shock.
