"It looks very like Flourishing-of-Years - the grand shrine-face of Visage. Something about the eyes, the sternness of the mouth. Perhaps only that it stares at the roof, just as Flourishing-of-Years does."[1]
Jillyfish are enormous jellyfish-like creatures that roam the Unterzee, known for their luminescent purple glow[2] and extremely poisonous tentacles.[3] Their seemingly soft caps are actually hardened, allowing them to ram ships with dangerous amounts of force,[3] and parts of their bodies may be surprisingly edible.[4]
Interestingly, the caps of these creatures appear to have a woman's face imprinted on them; this face resembles the giant shrine-face of Visage, the Flourishing-of-Years. Some zailors report that this face, as it dissolves in death, mouths a word - what might be "HOME."[5]
Jillyfleur
"The jillyfleur. Is it a young jillyfish? A lesser subspecies? Do the dreams of jillyfish become real?"[6]
Jillyfleur are jellyfish-like creatures that may be juvenile jillyfish, a subspecies, or something else entirely.[7] Like their larger counterparts, they possess leather-tough flesh,[8] limited edibility,[9] and the same, mysterious face on their caps.[10]
