#2 Oh my. The situation seems rather dire:

THEY are called echizen kurage and they sound like monsters from the trashier reaches of Japanese science fiction. They are 6ft wide and weigh 450lb (200kg), with countless poisonous tentacles, they have drifted across the void to terrorise the people of Japan. Vast armadas of the slimy horrors have cut off the countryâs food supply. As soon as one is killed more appear to take its place.

Fun jellyfish fact from the article--jellyfish travel in smacks.

#6 Terrifying until they discover that they can be eaten

Right. They already eat one of the most poisonous fish in the world as a delicacy. All they need is some marketing and chefs to slice them up into artistic pieces.
