Pitfall Jellies are native to a few small forests in the greater United States. We estimate that around 500 exist in the wild, and we have reason to believe that population may grow rapidly given the right circumstances, and without our efforts to keep the population under relative control until a proper utility can be deduced. In the mean time, we have cordoned off their current habitat from the public, with very strictly enforced borders. However, we have had some intruders, who have proven to be very useful for testing the capabilities of these specimens.

We are including several sub-species within this particular genus, each of whom have rather distinct difference. However, there are several specific commonalities between them, namely:

-

Pitfall Jellies are subterranean creatures, preferring areas where the soil is softer, ie. rainforest or swamp environments.

-

They capture live prey primarily through specialised cnidocytes, akin to jellyfish tentacles. Their cellular structure is also quite similar to Jellyfish, including the lack of a brain, heart, or robust nervous system.

-

While they generally prey on mammals, they are not specifically carnivorous, deriving their sustenance through extraction of fluid and nutrients akin to the vampire bat or mosquito (however, they do not extract blood.)

-

Their methods of reproduction vary, but ostensibly do not require sexual contact with another Pitfall Jelly; rather, they range from asexual reproduction via spores, or, in some cases, oviposition into a host.

While every individual Pitfall Jelly is unique, we have been able to deduce three specific primary types, which we will outline in the following three case studies, collected from three separate intruders to our research grounds.

Case Study 1 - Basic Pitfall Jelly

These are the least common specimens, comprising approximately 20% of the specimens within our care; this is primarily due to their slower reproductive rate compared to the other types. We hypothesise that they reproduce through spores, but we have not been able to confirm this.

However, aside from their low birth rate, their durability and lifespan is notably longer than the other types.

It is useful to start with this one to establish the commonalities between all types of Pitfall Jelly.

Firstly, it attracts its prey by simply blending in, creating a facsimile of solid ground over a pit that it has dug in soft soil. Subtle pheromones will guide potential prey towards it, and they are often completely unwitting - as this particular subject was. Note how the large, muscular mouse is buried up to his mid-section in the supplied imagery. Later tests of this subject upon capture revealed that they have a level of physical strength well above the average individual; therefore we can surmise that the Pitfall Jelly's ability to subdue and hold a creature in place is quite high and robust.

Upon capture, the Jelly's insides emit a secretion that coats the lower half of the prey's body in an invisible enzyme that dissolves any clothing and bonds tightly to the flesh. This serves both as an adhesive and as an anaesthetic, causing the lower body to become completely numb. If we can synthesise or extract this enzyme in a sustainable manner, it will prove invaluable as a tool for our agents.

From there, further compounds are introduced to the prey's body through orifices - the anus and urethra being the primary entrance points. These compounds seem to heighten sexual arousal to a significant degree, as well as inducing an erection. Note, also, the growth of sexual organs - when this image was taken, the subject's penis had already quintupled in size, and would continue to do so.

From there, semen extraction becomes the priority for the Pitfall Trap, as this is its primary food source. Interestingly, each subsequent ejaculation from the subject is more productive than the last, along with a marked reduction in the refractory period between each orgasm. The subject experienced no fewer than 35 orgasms in the space of a thirty minute period, more than half of which took place in the last 8 minutes.

Note, as well, the expression on the mouse's face, and the apparent frustration and annoyance. This is not atypical - questioning of the subject with the aid of our Interrogator-Screens confirmed that he had feelings of total numbness below the waist - ie. every part of him that was in contact with the insides of the Pitfall Jelly. The secretions remained stuck to his lower half still present upon his extraction, and would persist for several days after; once feeling and sensation returned to him, the subject had a greatly increased level of libido, and with it, suggestibility. This proved useful for further conditioning.
