My first proper Splatoon OC, meet Lindella!
Tumblr media
She's a Giant Phantom Jelly who used to live in the deep and took the Deepsea Metro to commute to work (an apparel store called Hydrothermal Gents) until learning of Kamabo falling apart and hearing the horrific rumors of what was going on behind the scenes. No longer feeling secure, she decided to make for the surface and start fresh somewhere hopefully more safe. She has no idea what is going on and is very frightened but she's doing her best.
(the name Lindella was decided by my good buddy Jellow Fellow you should watch their cool cartoon Fubby Force)

Daily Jellyfish #1 - Stygiomedusa gigantea <3
Tumblr media
Stygiomedusa gigantea (Animalia; Cnidaria; Scyphozoa; Semaeostomeae; Ulmaridae) AKA the 'Giant Phantom Jellyfish'.

Lacks stinging tentacles, but does have four oral arms that are assumed to be able to grow up to 10m long. These arms trap and engulf their prey (i.e. plankton and small fish).
It's bell, which can grow up to 1m in length, is made of a flexible tissue that allows it to expand up to ~4-5 times it's size - presumably allowing it to envelop any prey brought up to it by it's oral arms, so that it might digest it via the canals located along the mouthparts.

Tends to be more dominant in areas with low productivity, like the open ocean, which are usually lesser desired by predator species because of the lack of nutrients required to support most living organisms.
Typically it lives in the Midnight Zone (AKA Bathypelagic: ~1000-4000m), but is presumed to reach greater depths, spanning from the surface to 6665m. It is also presumed to live worldwide, save the Arctic Ocean.
Fewer than 130 sightings have ever been recorded.

Collected S. gigantea samples suggest a reddish-orangish coloration, which, because visible light can only penetrate so far, allows them to appear almost invisible or faint depending on the depth of the water.
Appears to have a symbiotic relationship with the ophidiiform fish, Thalassobathia pelagica - the S. gigantea providing vital shelter with it's bell in the open ocean depths, and the T. pelagica reciprocating by removing and feeding on any parasites the jellyfish might harbour. The two are even suggested to be able to re-associate with one another when separated.
