Part of Jellocats - a closed species

Jelloguts are an eerie, mutated sub-species of Jellocats, distinguished by their exposed internal anatomy and slightly menacing behavior.

Unlike regular Jellocats, Jelloguts developed visible, semi-transparent internal organs and a belly as a response to consuming human food that Jellocats weren’t naturally suited to digest. This has changed their physiology and even given them new, defensive behaviors & abilities.

 

Physical Appearance

Jelloguts retain the squishy, colorful appearance of their Jellocat relatives, but with a significant twist:

Their translucent skin exposes a set of guts, notably in a clear patch across their belly. This transparent window starts at their chest, forming an upside-down "U" shape down to the pelvis, allowing an unobstructed view of their intestines and other organs. These organs are suspended within the body, drifting and swaying as the Jellogut moves.

 

Anatomy and Special Abilities

  • Acid Production: Jelloguts have evolved a unique defense mechanism within their guts. When threatened or stressed, their organs produce a mildly corrosive acid that they can spit at enemies. This acid isn't lethal, but it can cause painful burns, leaving small holes in their enemy’s skin.

  • Jello: The body-structure of a Jellogut’s body is still gelatinous and flexible, but it is reinforced to handle the additional organs and acid sacs. Though they maintain the soft qualities of typical Jellocats, their jello has become slightly more stable to protect these vulnerable internal structures.

 

Behavioral Differences from Jellocats

Jelloguts are uniquely tolerant to parasite infections. Parasites that enter their system stay with them for life, forming a symbiotic relationship that influences the Jellogut's behavior.

These infected Jelloguts are erratic, with moments of aggression or unpredictability that can seem unsettling to both humans and other Jellocats. However, the parasites do not pass on to any offspring, as they remain localized within the host, feeding off their nutrients but providing no cure or relief.

 

Relationship with Parasites

Jelloguts are uniquely susceptible to parasite infections due to their exposed anatomy. Parasites that enter their system stay with them for life, forming a symbiotic relationship that influences the Jellogut's behavior. These infected Jelloguts are erratic, with moments of aggression or unpredictability that can seem unsettling to both humans and other Jellocats. However, the parasites do not pass on to any offspring, as they remain localized within the host Jellogut's jello body, feeding off their nutrients but providing no cure or relief.

 

Ageing

Jellocats are practically immortal unless physically destroyed. Jellocats have distinct age stages, each shaping their abilities, behaviour, and role in Jello society. From playful Younglings to wise Elders and legendary Mythic Jellocats, these stages highlight their growth and magic. A rare few transcend into Jello Spirits, guiding others as eternal beings. Each age stage reflects unique traits and increasing powers, with the oldest Jellocats holding deep knowledge and mystical abilities essential to life on Jello Island. They are considered ageless beings, with age tracked by developmental stages, each with unique characteristics:

  • Younglings (0-2 years; Child):
    Younglings     are in the earliest stage of development, where they begin to understand the basics of their surroundings. They’re adapting to their jello bodies, learning to interact with others, and building initial resilience. This stage is full of growth as they learn to sustain their form through jello and sugar water. While naturally curious, they tend to be cautious around people but may form bonds with those who treat them gently and provide jello treats. The playful, curious, and clumsy Younglings are full of energy and are just beginning to explore their abilities. They rely on guidance from older Jellocats and learn how to maintain their jello bodies by consuming jello and sugar water. While clumsy, they’re born with features like claws or teeth (if inherited), though these are often underdeveloped. Jelloguts in this stage may not yet produce acidic defences. The older Cats protect Younglings with all their power.

  • ADVENTURERS (3-20 years; Young Adult):
    In the Adventurer stage, Jellocats explore Jello Island more independently, discovering new places and experiences. They’re in a learning period, experimenting with abilities and forming bonds with the Jello Island community. This time is essential for shaping their future skills and knowledge of the world around them. Adventurers are known for their exploratory nature and might partner with humans for shared discoveries around Jello Island. In this stage, Jellocats develop a sense of independence and adventure, travelling Jello Island to find their place. Jelloguts begin showing their full traits, including defensive acids. Adventurers may form friendships, learn from experienced Jellocats, and interact with nearby humans, establishing initial bonds if they feel safe.
  • SETTLERS (21-499 years; Adult):
    Settlers     are experienced and more rooted in Jello Island life, often finding a home or role that suits their talents. Their familiarity with island customs and landscapes allows them to contribute in meaningful ways, whether by providing guidance, performing specialized tasks, or simply sharing knowledge with younger Jellocats. Their relationships with humans tend to be strong, although they remain highly protective of their independence. Settlers are established, skilled, and knowledgeable. Jellocats and Jelloguts of this age can act as guides or scouts. They may mentor younger cats, study jello-based magic, and deepen their attachment to Jello Island. Ancients may share knowledge with Jellocats, preparing them for further development.
  • ELDERS (500-999 years; Elder):
    Elders possess a deep connection to Jello Island’s heritage and magic, often serving as knowledge keepers. Their extensive experience shapes their understanding of the island’s mysteries, and they often assist in guiding younger Jellocats or preserving traditions. Elders can be found in quiet or secluded parts of the island, where they are highly regarded for their insight. When an Elder forms a bond with a human, it is rare and profoundly meaningful.

  • MYTHS (1,000+ years; Old/Ancient age):
    Mythic Jellocats are legendary beings with abilities that connect them to the island’s core magic. Rare and seldom seen, they hold a unique understanding of the island’s secrets, lore, and mystical forces. Their presence is felt in sacred or hidden areas, where they may protect or maintain the island’s natural balance. Mythic Jellocats rarely connect with humans, as they are usually focused on protecting the island’s magic. However, those few who encounter a Mythic Jellocat find the experience transformative, often receiving mystical insights, blessings, or rare assistance.

  • ETERNAL (God)
    Holy Jello Spirits transcend physical form, existing as ethereal presences across Jello Island. Representing the essence of life and history, they protect the island and its inhabitants by maintaining the mystical balance. Spirits interact with the living through dreams, visions, or gentle guidance, serving as spiritual mentors or guides. These eternal beings are deeply connected to the island’s origins and often intervene during times of crisis, offering wisdom or magical support to those who call upon them. Some believe these spirits are the original Ancients who transcended physicality, becoming one with the island to forever guide and protect the Jellocat species and all who dwell on Jello Island.

 

Jellogut Drawing Guidelines 

  • Transparent belly showing guts

  • The “belly” goes close up to the back

  • The belly extends all the way under the body

  • It can go up to the neck

  • The belly must be clearly separated from the rest of the body with a LINE

WHAT IS AN ANCIENT JELLOCAT?

Ancient Jellocats are the fierce, flesh-based ancestors of modern Jellocats, known for their claws, muzzles, and wild hunting instincts. Unlike their sugary, gentle descendants, Ancient Jellocats are carnivorous predators, relying on meat for survival. They communicate with roars and hisses, live for centuries, and grow wiser and more mystical with age. They laid the foundation for the Jellocat language, culture, and traits that evolved as they adapted to new diets and environments, eventually becoming the jello-bodied creatures of today. Over millennia, some Ancient Jellocats adapted to environmental changes and resource scarcity by transitioning to a sugar-based diet. This diet shift gradually transformed them into the gelatinous, softer, and gentler Jellocats known today.

Usually, they are NOT glossy. It depends on their diet. MEAT = MATTE; JELLO = GLOSSY.

 

evolution to jellocats

The lack of meat was a turning point in Ancient Jellocat evolution. As prey became harder to find on Jello Island due to environmental changes or overhunting, Ancient Jellocats faced a critical food shortage. To survive, some began to experiment with new food sources, specifically the sugar-rich fruits, plants, and crystals found on the island. Initially, this sugary diet was only a temporary solution, but certain Jellocats found themselves able to survive—and even thrive—on sugar alone. Over generations, these Jellocats gradually adapted to their new diet, and their bodies evolved to depend on sugar as a primary energy source.

This dietary shift set off a series of physiological changes. Sugar provided a different type of energy that allowed Jellocats to store nutrients in new ways, changing the very being of their bodies from dense flesh to a softer, more gelatinous consistency. This adaptation not only supported them through the famine but also paved the way for the glossy, jello-like creatures they would eventually become.

 

Key Features of Ancient Jellocats

  • Physical Traits: Ancient Jellocats possess Ancient Claws, a defined muzzle (Ancient Jaw), and a distinctive 3-shaped mouth. 
  • Texture: Unlike modern Jellocats made of sugary jello, Ancient Jellocats are composed of flesh. This flesh-only composition is fundamental to their predatory nature.
  • Behavior and Diet: They are highly feral, carnivorous hunters. Unlike modern Jellocats, which depend on sugar, Ancient Jellocats are dependent on meat. Historically, some switched to a sugary diet during times of scarcity, which contributed to their evolutionary transition to the jello-based forms.

 

Communication and Language

  • Sounds: Ancient Jellocats communicate through primal hisses and roars, similar to lions or big cats. Modern Jellocats lost this ability, evolving a more telepathic form of communication.
  • Language (WOBBLE): Ancient Jellocats laid the foundation for WOBBLE, a symbolic language. Over time, it evolved with exposure to humans, developing grammar akin to English but maintaining unique symbols.

Jellopets (Jellopets Subtype)

Jellopets: Lifelong Companions

Jello Island is home to an enchanting array of magical creatures known as Jellopets, each uniquely adapted to different environments across the island. These creatures come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and serve as loyal companions to Jellocats and humans alike. While Jellocats often adopt these creatures, you don’t need to own a Jellocat to form a bond with a Jellopet.

Jellopets are known for their unwavering loyalty and the deep connections they forge with their owners. If a Jellocat or human has more than one Jellopet, something extraordinary happens: one of these creatures is chosen as a Lifetime Soulmate. This soulmate bond exceeds the ordinary pet-owner relationship, becoming a magical, unbreakable connection that lasts a lifetime.

The variety of Jellopets found on the island reflects the diversity of Jello Island’s landscapes. Some are adaptable to multiple regions, while others thrive only in specific environments, making every Jellopet experience unique.
