It oc- ‘cupies a very special ecological niche, and thus has a specific but rather unusual mode of existence. It exists by controlling the ‘mind of another creature, which it then uses for protection and to obtain sustenance These jellies are dificult to spot due to their small size (about 2°-3" diameter). Their appearance is similar to that of a jelly fish: yellow, spherical or slighty fattened globules. Radiating outwards from the central mass are about three dozen thin tend= til, which act as antennae from which the creature communi- cates with and controls another creature (see below). They are translucent and slightly milky, but contain no fived internal structure Combat: These creatures choose unoccupied caves in which to vel, and stick tothe celling in the shadows, where they ate llmostimpossbleto detect When a carnivore ventures ito the ‘ave, the symbiotic jelly will attempt to use its innate charm ‘monster bility to persuade the intruder telepathically to remain inthe cave and attack any othet creature which enters: Mon stets which ate not carnivorous, creatures from. planes othe than the Prime Material, and undead are ignored by the jelly The ell then uses another powerful spel-like ability, sinilar (0 a vellspell Two vivid illusions are thus created The first ilu.

The nature ofthe treasure will be determined as the symbiotic jelly uses an ESPAike power to detect the vitims interest in the cave. The ESP is also used to determine the victim's response tothe illisions, so thatthe ely can quickly alter the illusion for greater believabity.
