Euryals (Yur-i-lees)
Euryals are a jellyfish like species that live in the various seas of Venus. On their own, they are relatively harmless, albeit toxic. Most sailors will not go out of their way to avoid one, but will leave it be if unprompted. They don't react to most outside stimuli until the are either attacked or sense a food source through their tentacles. As they primarily stick to the surface of the water, they are easy to spot.
However, while an euryal is by no means a threat, a group of euryals can be quite threatening. The reason for this is because euryals will interlink their bodies to become large floating "islands". The size of this can vary from a dozen or so to a colony of euryals stretching several hundred meters.
While they don't fuse together, they seldom break apart once they join together, with physical trauma or food scarcity being the only observed reasons that they would break apart by themselves or into smaller colonies.
