¶ Scyphozoa
The Scyphozoa is a dangerous and massive Monster with no offensive abilities.
It has a 1% chance of replacing a wandering monsters ambush in the surface Sectors, the Cortex and the Volcano Replika and a 5% chance in Sector Five.
When encountering it, you will be inflicted a fear effect that will make it near impossible to escape the Scyphozoa. However, once you are freed, you will have a high chance of obtaining the Knowledge that will make you immune to the effect.

¶ Draining
Once the Scyphozoa has caught its target, it will start draining away their avatar protections. This process takes three minutes.
It is possible to save the victim by attacking the monster, although the more progress the Scyphozoa has made, the likelier it is for the victim to still suffer the effects of its draining. Once the Scyphozoa's tentacles are cut, it will automatically die after a few seconds.
There are four different effects, with no way of differentiating them during the draining process:
- DNA Drain: The Scyphozoa will take away the warrior's DNA, inflicting Missing DNA Sequences on them.
- Knowledge Drain: the Scyphozoa will take away one piece of knowledge from the warrior's mind.
- Energy Drain: The Scyphozoa will steal Energy away from the warrior and will use it to make XANA's next Tower Attack more powerful. Each 100 energy taken away is equal to one Return To The Past.
- Possession Implant: The Scyphozoa will Xanafy the warrior, granting them the ability to destroy sectors using Waytowers. This xanafication will be lost if the warrior is devirtualized or sent to the frontier.
