Team mascots are rarely benign, though I did live in a town where one of the public high schools fielded the ferocious (wait for it ) BENSON BUNNIES. I remember the school colors were green & white, but I can’t recall a single piece of merch with a fearsome rampaging bunny. The prep school had a blue jay for its mascot. Jays are at least obnoxious.
Jellyfish are colonial organisms. What looks like a single organism is actually a collection of individual organisms (zooids), each of which makes its specialized contribution to the functioning of the colony. There’s no central nervous system, but they have something like a neural communication net that extends through the colony.
An undefinable glob of aimless meaningless goo with painful stinging nettles.
Seriously? That was as good of an explanation or description of this lagoon as I could have come up with, at least respectfully anyhow.
@thorninmud “something like a neural communication” but a conglomeration of individuals composing an aimless brainless glob immersed in a crowd of other such collections, drifting with the currents. Fans of Jimmy Buffet?
