Template:Infobox type Jellyfish is a primarily blue creature type used for cards depicting transparent free-swimming (or flying) bell-shaped creatures with tentacles and stingers. Note that jellyfish, which are invertebrates and don't have gills, are not fish.

The first creature to bear the type was <c>Man-o'-War</c> in Visions, though <c>Avizoa</c> from Weatherlight was later issued errata to become Jellyfish as well. While the flying Avizoa hail from Dominaria, the similar <c>Esperzoa</c> and <c>Gomazoa</c> are from Alara and Zendikar, respectively.

Trivia[edit]

  • <c>Man-o'-War</c> is the only real, lifelike Jellyfish.
  • The subtype Avizoa was changed to Jellyfish in the Weatherlight online release.
  • In the Grand Creature Type Update the subtype of <c>Glowing Anemone</c> was changed from Beast to Anemone. However, it was quickly realized that an anemone is actually a terrestrial flower. Sea anemones on the other hand are the concerned water-dwelling, predatory animals. Since sea anemones are closely related to jellyfish, the subtype was changed accordingly in the update of the Grand Update.
