Appearance
The Zhelijin is a lithe, jellyfish-like creature with a frilly appearance. It moves with three pairs of long, flowing fins, the biggest of which sprout from its back and resemble wings. There are two more pairs of smaller, but similarly-patterned appendages on its ventral side, and its tail is covered by numerous thin jellyfish-tentacle-like fins. At the end of its tail is a glowing bulb. Eight pairs of smaller bulbs can be found along Zhelijin, all stemming from long tendrils on its tail (8), lower throat (6) and upper torso (2).
The entirety of Zhelijin's head resembles a bit a predatory tunicate, but with two pointed gelatinous teeth on the lower jaw; transparent, revealing what appears to be its free-floating skull beneath. Although it lacks most of these traits externally, the skull features eye sockets, a pair of short horns and mandibles. The ruff on its neck resembles the body of a jellyfish.
Zhelijin has no gender dimorphism.
Abilities
Behavior
- Zhelijin must still continue to eat, drink, sleep, etc. to survive.
Lore (non-canon)
- All Zhelijins are reincarnated lives of all sorts of different creatures. The only requirements for a creature to be reborn is to be granted enough blessings from friends and family after death. If the revival is successful, their old bodies are completely remade with parts of their original bones remaining behind in their new gelatinous body. Although many parts of the original skeleton is often lost in the revival process, the skull almost always remains. It is very uncommon for a Zhelijin to lack a skull, but not impossible. The in-game appearance of Zhelijin is not meant to resemble any existing creature, this is to leave the design ambiguous and allow creative freedom. However, what creature a Zhelijin had been in the past is made very clear as their forms are always unique in each individual. They would greatly resemble their past lives while also may be granted new attributes that are unique to the individual alone. (Basically the creator's fancy way of saying there's no set designs for any Zhelijin version of each creature and free interpretation is very encouraged).
- This new form grants them all the ability to fly (by technicality gliding), aquatic capabilities and levitation, and does not matter if the creature did not originally have such abilities. Now they can roam the land, sea, and skies as a free soul.
- All Zhelijins remain the size and age of when they died. So by extension they cannot die of old age. However, since the revival serves as a “second chance” at life, they must still continue to eat, drink, sleep, etc to survive.
Trivia
- Concept by Kyzenith & LammieLord. Inspired by jellyfish, goldfish, and ghost quartz. The name 'Zheli' (pronounced Júh-lee, short ee) is a Chinese transliteration for 'jelly'. The 'Jin' (pronounced Jeen, high ee) is a pun meaning 'gold' (金) and/or 'spirit' (精). This is in reference to both concept artists' Chinese backgrounds.
- Modeled by JaxonBirb.
- Animations by BlckBrryJam.
- The name Zhelijin is seldom used by players in-game, using "Zheli" or even the misspelled "Zhejelin" instead due to Roblox having censored the original name. They are commonly referred to as "Jelly" and "Jellyfish" in-game.
- Its calls were updated in the recoded version of the game.
- The Zhelijin, like the Akorbik, Anutill, Astrothi, Dabaemura, Hallucinix, Lucensia, Momola, Noctla'Lune, Shiyaro, Voletexius, Wuggawyrm, and Xeleviprex, do not have their 'wings' as juveniles, meaning they can't fly until they reach teen. It is also the fourth creature to have this trait.
