Giant Jellyfish

A colossal jellyfish the size of a small house, trailing curtains of lethal tentacles.

This thing should not exist. Its bell alone spans ten meters across, pulsing with a sickly violet bioluminescence. The tentacles that dangle beneath it are thick as rope and dozens of meters long, capable of wrapping a ship mast. Its sting does not merely poison - it seizes the nervous system, locking muscles mid-scream.

Notes
A dangerous elite that punishes melee clustering with its AoE sweep. Paralyzing Sting cripples ability to respond or flee, demanding dispels or careful timing. Immune to stun, bleed, and poison, blocking most standard DoT strategies. Groups should spread and focus-fire to avoid the tentacle sweep hitting multiple targets.
