[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6390557, member: 57383"] How's this: [I]A jellyfish floats in space, its translucent body glows with cool colors that flow across its skin in waves. The creature's no larger than a mundane jellyfish – it's about the size of a halfling's head with radiating tentacles over a yard long.
