(Noxious) Brackish Lake Chironex

Lore[]

By submerging in salt water, she can drift in any direction she pleases. It is said that during the dissolving process, she appears like a beautiful jellyfish. As the poison she possesses is highly toxic, she adopted the name, "Chironex of the Brackish Lake" which suits this lovely yet poisonous fairy.

Name Origin[]

Chironex is a genus of box jellyfish in the Chirodropidae family. Traditionally, only a single species, C. fleckeri, was recognized in this genus, but in 2009 a second species, C. yamaguchii, was described. Their stings are highlyvenomous, and both species have caused human fatalities. Based on present knowledge, the genus is restricted to the central Indo-Pacific, ranging from to southern Japan to northern Australia.
