The Jellyfishes are the recurring characters of SpongeBob SquarePants franchise. They have played an antagonistic role in some episodes.

Biographies

The jellyfishes are portrayed in a stereotypical cartoonish manner, but retain many physical traits like their real-world counterpart. This includes the umbrella-like bells and several tentacles, commonly referred as stingers in the series. The jellyfishes can come in a wide variety of colors, most commonly pink and may or may not have dark colored spots on the bell. They are approximately the size of a Krabby Patty, though their sizes are sometimes inconsistent. Since Bikini Bottomites are shown to be only smaller than a human's foot in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, this would make the jellyfishes almost microscopic to humans.

Their aforementioned stingers, as their name suggests, allows a jellyfish to sting any person who disturbs or annoys them. Their stings have an electrical effect rather than venomous, as shown by the electrical sound and effects when someone is stung by one. The overall effect of being stung varies between individuals, but are noted to be extremely painful for the recipient. They are mild at their most tolerable level, leading to sharp pain and itchiness, but no visible mark. For most stings, a large boil is left behind. The boil an any associated pain is temporary and can heal with time, though a fast acting ointment has been created that alleviates the sting immediately. At their very worst, some jellyfishes have fatal stings. Big Lenny is one example who has a history of attacking denizens of the ocean with only one known survivor of an encounter with him, Dr. Manowar. Even for him, that jellyfishes still left behind a massive boil that does not heal and is extremely painful to the touch.

The stingers are not activated by touching any part of the tentacle like its real world counterpart as SpongeBob has been shown grabbing a jellyfish stinger with his bare hands in "Jellyfish Jam," possibly showing that the stinging effect only comes from the tip of the stinger.

Their other most curious feature is their ability to produce an edible substance referred in series as jellyfish jelly. These appear to be produced and stored in their bell and can be extracted via their stingers. The jellyfishes also are able to freely excrete jelly, usually in response to an individual who has insulted them or to possibly shed excess jelly, which is normally stored in their hive. There are various methods used to directly extract these from them, most of which are safe and pose little ill effects. SpongeBob has shown milking them out of the tentacle or making them sneeze to achieve this effect. Both are considered safe, as the former method produced enough jelly to cover a slice of bread with while the latter produced approximately a quart-sized jar's worth of jelly with little effect on the jellyfish who were shown moving as normal afterwards. However, various cruel methods are shown in "Jellyfish Hunter" that extracted far too much jelly, leaving most withered and unable to move.
