Jellicent (Japanese:ブルンゲルBurungel) is a dual-typeWater/GhostPokémon introduced inGeneration V.

Itevolves fromFrillish starting atlevel 40.

Biology

Jellicent is a large jellyfish-likePokémon whose appearance varies based on gender. Both genders have five tentacles, two of which are long with petal-shaped ends. The remaining three are short and tapered. A male is blue with a short white crown, and a white collar whose front portion resembles a mustache. Its eyes are red with blue sclerae, and there is one eyelash over each eye. Its long tentacles have white edges, while its short tentacles have white spots. A female is pink with a tall white crown and a puffy white collar. Its eyes are blue with red sclerae and surrounded by two eyelashes. Just below its eyes is a red heart-shaped marking which resembles a mouth. The long tentacles have white edges like the male, but the short ones have white frills.

Jellicent can absorb seawater and project it from its head, which lets it move forward in the sea. Jellicent's body composition is similar to seawater. Schools of Jellicent are known to gather for prey during a full moon. Any fancy cruise ships, tankers, or crew that wander into the oceans where it dwells are never found again, and it is rumored that it drags these ships or tankers into the sea and preys on its passengers. It can create lairs from sunken ships. It is known to feed on life energy, where the more it drains, the bigger its crown gets. Jellicent are highly feared by fishers.

Trivia

• Although femaleDream World artwork exists, anyFrillish or Jellicent uploaded to theGlobal Link will use the male artwork, regardless of their gender.
• Frillish and Jellicent were originally pure Water-type. The Ghost type was added to their typing for balancing reasons, withKen Sugimori noting that the designer for the Frillish line was disappointed that they ended up becoming scary Pokémon.^[1]

Origin

Jellicent and its pre-evolved form are most likely based onjellyfish; Jellicent's size and bulbous body may be drawn from the genusStygiomedusa, also known as the giant phantom jelly, which is large in size and possesses fabric-like tentacles. It also shares traits with thecrown jellyfish andjelly blubber. Jellicent's frills and collars seem to be based on typical monarch attire; the male's appearance is based on a king's while the female's is based on a queen's.

Jellicent, as well as its pre-Evolution, also seem to draw heavy inspiration fromNurarihyon, a jellyfishyōkai that is either shown as a demonized jellyfish or as a jellyfish-like man who wears refined, sometimes regal, clothing. It is also possible that they were inspired by the Kurage no Hinotama, a sort of jellyfish-likewill-o'-the-wisp. Jellicent's dangerous ability to prey on humans, in self-defense of its habitat, is possibly based on thebox jellyfish and other highly venomous species of jellyfish that are capable of killing humans. The two larger tentacles Jellicent possesses are more similar to those ofsquids than the tentacles of real jellyfish. Jellicent also has traits in common withsea monsters like theKraken, most notably its rumored penchant for destroying ships and feeding on the crew.

Name origin

Jellicent may be a combination ofjellyfish andmagnificent ortranslucent.

Burungel may be a combination of ブルンブルンburunburun (onomatopoeia for shaking) and ゲルgel.
