Special Features

The Volticlops is a gigantic jellyfish that has the size, power, and scariness of Godzilla. Its bell-shaped body glows with electric blue and purple light, and thick, muscular tentacles trail behind it like living lightning cables. Even more shocking, the Volticlops can fire bolts of electricity from both its tentacles and its eyes, lighting up the sky and ocean at the same time. Scientists believe its body stores electricity the way batteries do—except these batteries are slimy and enormous.

Discovery

The Volticlops was discovered in 2025 by a 7-year-old named Jackson during a family beach trip. Jackson was skipping rocks into the ocean when the water suddenly started glowing. At first, he thought it was glow-in-the-dark seaweed. Then the water began buzzing—like a thousand phone chargers plugged in at once.

Moments later, a massive jellyfish rose out of the sea, crackling with lightning and blinking glowing eyes. Jackson calmly said, “That jellyfish is way too big,” just before a lightning bolt zapped the water nearby. The creature slowly sank back into the ocean, leaving the waves steaming. Jackson told everyone what he saw, and although most adults didn’t believe him, weather satellites later recorded a lightning storm that came from the ocean itself.

Habitat

Volticlops lives in the deep ocean, far below where sunlight reaches. It is usually found near underwater trenches and volcanic ridges, where energy from the Earth helps power its electric abilities. Occasionally, it rises closer to the surface during storms, which is why it is sometimes mistaken for strange weather patterns instead of an animal.

What It Eats

Volticlops feeds on large sea creatures, massive schools of fish, and anything charged with energy. It absorbs electricity from underwater currents and storms, using its tentacles to stun prey before pulling it toward its glowing bell. Scientists believe it doesn’t need to eat often, because electricity makes up a big part of its diet.

How It Moves

Despite its massive size, the Volticlops moves smoothly through the water like a normal jellyfish. It pulses its bell slowly but powerfully, creating waves strong enough to rock ships above. When threatened, it can move faster by releasing bursts of electricity, launching itself forward in a glowing flash.
