Comboanimals Folklore

This comboanimal is too dangerous to be used for bullfighting in Spain. If a matador manages to evade the bulls first charge then its likely the trailing tendrils will make contact with the matador and paralyse him/her. The paralysed matador will be unable to move and will be helpless when the Bullyjelly makes its next charge.

Physical description

A cow with a tail of box jellyfish tendrils.

Picture a magnificent bull, robust and muscular, adorned with a gleaming coat of various shades of brown and black. Its majestic horns curve gracefully upwards, a testament to its strength. However, what truly sets the Cowjelly apart is its extraordinary tail, which resembles the delicate, translucent tendrils of a box jellyfish stinger. These tendrils are adorned with vibrant colors, giving the creature a mesmerizing and otherworldly appearance.

Mature males weigh 450–1,800 kg and females weigh 360–1,100 kg making them potentially 16-26 times bigger than the average adult human.

Comboanimals Information

The Cowjelly's behaviour is like the humble cow, mostly docile where the males (bulls) can be aggressive and territorial. Other than being in meadows and fields it spends half its time standing or floating in water. Its body is less dense than water so it can float easily. It enjoys swimming and will often swim several miles each day.

When provoked or threatened, the Cowjelly stands its ground, using its muscular body and sharp horns to defend itself. Any creature who give it chase runs the risk of being stung by its jelly fish poisonous tendrils.

It’s best feature is it’s strength and it’s ability to paralyse creatures with its stinging tail. It can run 35mph on land and in water its not the fastest swimmer but it can move with uncanny grace. It can float and use its tail to propel itself to glide through the water with an otherworldly fluidity. It can swim for several miles and sleep while floating.

The Cowjelly's unique fusion of cow and jellyfish traits has bestowed it with a truly exceptional diet. While the bull influence enables it to graze on grasses, herbs, and other vegetation found in its habitat, the jellyfish aspect adds a fascinating twist. The Cowjelly has developed a specialized ability to sense and locate small aquatic creatures, such as fish and crustaceans, using its long, tentacle-like tail. It will go into shallow waters and locate fish, Once located, it paralyzes its prey with a mild venom secreted from its stinging tendrils, allowing it to feast upon the immobilized creatures. This combination of terrestrial and aquatic nourishment ensures the Cowjelly receives the necessary sustenance to maintain its formidable size and strength.

They are social creatures often staying in groups in vast grasslands and open meadows as well as in lakes, rivers and occasionally the sea.

They can be found all around the world except for places with extreme temperature such as near the equator or near the poles. They are known to migrate seasonally and can cross vast bodies of water following the availability of vegetation and sea creatures to eat.

Ratings Reasoning: High adaptability rating as it can either survive on grass alone or sea creatures. It’s ability to swim and float allow it to cross vast bodies of water to find food sources.
