| — Cast Description • Kirby's Epic Yarn |
Space Jellies are enemies appearing in the game Kirby's Epic Yarn and its remake, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. They only appear in the Future City level.
Physical Appearance
Space Jellies are red jellyfish with four dark pink tentacles and two green and yellow button eyes. They are bigger than any other jelly-like enemy in the game.
Games
Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn
Space Jellies attack by releasing three green balls of energy. If these energy spheres were to come in contact with Kirby or Prince Fluff, they would take damage and lose beads. Space Jellies are only encountered when Kirby is in his Saucer Transformation and can only be defeated with a fully charged Saucer attack.
Etymology
Space Jelly's name comes from "Jelly," referencing its species as a jellyfish, and "Space," referencing the environment where it appears.
Its Japanese name, カラゲン (Karagen), is a portmanteau of the Japanese word for jellyfish, クラゲ/くらげ/海月/水母 (kurage); and the Japanese word for void, から/空 (kara).
