| abstract | - Jellyfish are gelatinous, free-swimming creatures common throughout all oceans of the world. They can have any number of spots and appear in hives much like bees. They make jelly, in a similar manner to bees making honey. Jellyfish in SpongeBob SquarePants are portrayed in a stereotypically cartoonish manner, and are typically pink in color. In the same manner as snails are likened to cats and worms are likened to dogs, jellyfish display many qualities of bees. They produce edible jelly in the same manner bees produce honey, and their stings have similar effects to those of bees, often causing swollen bumps (in real life, a jellyfish's sting can range from mild to life threatening). They also make a buzzing sound just like bees, are very small compared to main characters. Since Bikini Bottomites are stated to be only smaller than a human’s foot shown in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, this would make jellyfish almost microscopic. Despite that they only sting anyone if threatened, they appear to sting anyone that the come across for no apparent reason
