Size/Catagory: Large Aerial Invertibrate (Phylum Cnidaria)
Stats:
Mind: Expert 11/Master 8 (No psionic attacks, just communication.)
Body: Skilled 14

Damage/Attack: By lightening or tentacle.
Special Attacks: Lightening bolts and venemous tentacles (Most tentacles secrete an extremely painful paralytic poison. Only a few secrete a killing poison, which is only used for feeding).

Special Defenses: No vital organs. Electric resistance.
Special Abilites: Extremely advanced telepathy.
Magic Resistence: None.
Climate/Terrain: Any but extreme cold and extreme dry.
Frequency: Rare.
Organization: Egalitarian pods.
Activity Cycle: Diurnal.
Intelligence: Outlandishly high.
Language: They understand most languages, but only communicate telepathically through serieses of extremely complex symbols and abstract images. Communication with most other intelligent species is extremely limited as they have to dumb down their telepathy signficantly in order to form images comprehensible to most races.
Alignment: Always neutral (When judging other, they make no distinction between good and evil).
Description: Sky jellies resemble common aquatic jellies in every way, save for size, which typically ranges anywhere from ten to thirty feet (Only in cases of extremely old specimens), with tentacles ranging from fifty to several hundred feet long.

Combat: Extremely docile by nature, sky jellies will attack sentient creatures unless threatened. In such cases, they will resort to either lightening bolts or use of their tentacles, which secrete a powerful, painful, paralytic poison. (Note: Because sky jellies have no real muscle structure, they can not lash their tentacles, only move them at slow speeds, though articulately, and wrap them around things).
Even after resorting to combat, a jelly will typically incapacitate and escape, not kill.

Habitat/Society: Sky jellies dwell in the air, usually relatively near large bodies of water, which they rely on for food. Their migratory patterns are highly irregular, as they simply drift on the currents of air.
As for society, sky jellies consider themselves all equal, regardless of age, experience, or knowledge. They always organize themselves in pods of varying size, as small as three, though rarely exceeding fifteen.
These pods drift together and study various races and life forms through observation without interference.

Ecology: Sky jellies have no known life span, as members will leave the pod only when they feel they have taught their pod mates everything they can. It is unknown what they do or where they go, save for the fact that they do not join another pod.
Their primary method of feeding is by trailing their tentacles through large bodies of water, and sweeping up various fauna. In cases of dire need, they will trail their tentacles across dry land, but this is extremely rare.
