Here is a fun one! A fellow Referee is running an “Ocean Themed” OD&D Campaign and requested some assistance with generating interesting Jellyfish for the Adventurers to encounter. When I heard that there was a D&D game themed around exploring the Ocean, the first thought that came to my mind was this old meme:
My first Random Encounter with a Jellyfish was pretty memorable: My father was stung quite severely by one at a beach when I was very young and required medical assistance from a Lifeguard, so I was always oddly angry with them, despite how compelling and beautiful they can appear to be.
Much like my Remarkable Birds or Fantastical Fishes, this seemed like a fun opportunity for more of a “Generator” approach. I’m not sure the math works out to be quite 12 million, but this should be a good starting point at least! 😊
I like to include a handy dandy “One Click” Generator for these types of tables:
I was actually just creating a jellyfish/zombie monster hybrid for my dungeon yesterday! Strongly inspired by Thomas Ha's Balloon Season short story, these floating (in the air) jellyfish fires tendrils/tethers that pierce other creatures, draining their nutritional fluids and taking over their nervous system. Effectively jellyfish-controlled-zombies, they now pull the jellyfish around for it to find more victims to add to its growing platoon of zombies.
