The '''jellyfloat family''' is consisted of enemies that are jiggly, flying creatures resembling jellyfish, and are only found in certain underground [[cave]]s in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.

This family's name, and the name of the creatures in it, is a portmanteau of "{{w|jellyfish}}" and "float". The term "Spotted" in the members's names refers to the spots on their body. Their Japanese names use the word {{j|マンマン|Manman}}, which has no known meaning. The genus name used in their scientific names is ''Cephalus'', which can be assumed to be related to the real-world {{w|Cephalopod|Cephalopoda}} class of animals, or the word "head". Finally, their internal names use the term <code>kurage</code>, which simply means {{j|くらげ|kurage|jellyfish|f=tp}}. | |||
