It resembles a large, blue, floating {{w|jellyfish}} with yellow spots, that floats through the air. It attacks the [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] by inhaling them and trapping them inside. The Pikmin will then be digested over a considerably long period of time, specifically 1 Pikmin per 30 seconds, but can be saved by defeating it. This creature is related to the [[Greater Spotted Jellyfloat]]. It is also similar to the [[Medusal Slurker]] in the fact that they have clear bodies and keep Pikmin trapped inside of them. | ||

The word "Jellyfloat" is a combination of " | The word "Jellyfloat" is a combination of "{{w|jellyfish}}" and "float", given their ability to float in midair. The creature is "Spotted" because of the yellow spots on its body, and is "Lesser" because it is the smallest of the two known Jellyfloats, the other being the [[Greater Spotted Jellyfloat]]. In Japan, it is called {{j|コマンマン|Ko Manman}}, where {{j|コ|Ko}} means "Young", but {{j|マンマン|Manman}} is unknown. Its scientific name is ''cephalus dottalium'', where ''cephalus'' is likely a nod to the real-world {{w|Cephalopod|Cephalopoda}} class of animals, or related to the word "head", while ''dottalium'' is similar to the English word "dotted", referring to the spots. Internally, this enemy is called <code>kurage</code>, which translates to jellyfish. | ||
