Floater

''This bobbing curiosity appears much like a jellyfish, with a round, bulbous, translucent body and six tentacles hanging beneath. It floats above the silt, seeming to drift on the wind itself.''

Tactics
Floaters use their tentacles and numerous psionic powers to disable and defeat their attackers. As floaters are mostly composed of hydrogen, they are especially susceptible to fire attacks. Any fire attack against a floater runs the risk of causing the creature to explode.

Description
Floaters are a kind of levitating jellyfish. They float around the Sea of Silt, looking for food, but they are sometimes found inland. They have 6 tentacles filled with poison pods they use to paralyze their prey. They have a small spread of psionic powers which the creatures sometimes boost by eating large amounts of esperweed. These small creatures have a round, bulbous and translucent body, mostly made of a gelatinous substance. They are herbivores, not hunting any animals and only fighting when cornered. They live in nests which they build in the mudflats located at the edge of the Sea of Silt. A floater's single offspring is reared in the nests and brought food by the mother floater. The nests also provide protection from razorwings, who are the floaters' chief enemies.

A floater's body is filled with hydrogen, helping it to float around the Sea of Silt. The gas is produced by a floater's internal glands, which convert food into hydrogen in quantities sufficient to keep the creature floating. Males of the species generally have a reddish tint to them, while females are more often tan or yellowish in color. Floaters boast no useable byproducts, though many researchers have tried to make use of the gas-producing glands of this creature as a source of flammable gas. None has met with any success.
