"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."

Jillyfish are enormous jellyfish-like creatures that roam the Unterzee, known for their luminescent purple glow and extremely poisonous tentacles. Their seemingly soft caps are actually hardened, allowing them to ram ships with dangerous amounts of force, and parts of their bodies may be surprisingly edible.

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."

Jillyfleur

"The jillyfleur. Is it a young jillyfish? A lesser subspecies? Do the dreams of jillyfish become real?"

Jillyfleur are jellyfish-like creatures that may be juvenile jillyfish, a subspecies, or something else entirely. Like their larger counterparts, they possess leather-tough flesh, limited edibility, and the same, mysterious face on their caps.
