Habitat

Deep ocean waters, trenches and abysses

Overview

Jellicent spend much of their time in the deepest parts of the ocean. These Pokémon mate for life and tend to be social amongst others of their kind. Swarms of Jellicent are often found in ocean trenches and abysses. When night falls, Jellicent venture to the ocean’s surface to feed. By absorbing and then expelling seawater from their bodies, they can propel themselves and swim about. In fact, their body compositions are almost exactly identical to the composition of seawater. Many seafaring legends warn of Jellicent swarms, cautioning that no ship or crew has ever entered a Jellicent habitat and returned. Indeed, Jellicent do seem to have an unusual affinity for human ships; between these Pokémon and Dragalge, nearly all cases of “vanishing” vessels are accounted for. They tend to be found more frequently near cruise ships and tankers full of passengers. Jellicent feed on life force, leaving victims as empty husks that sink down into the ocean depths. They even seem to congregate at the ocean's surface on nights of the full moon, when ships are most plentiful. Their crowns are thought to grow larger the more life force they consume. It is said that on the ocean floor lies a Jellicent castle made of sunken shipwrecks. Superstitious sailors purport that this castle is an attempt by Jellicent, believed to be the souls of people lost at sea, to reclaim their old lives in an undersea civilization.
