The Scyphozoa is a dangerous and massiveMonster with no offensive abilities.
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.
If a warrior grabbed by the Scyphozoa is released while above the digital sea, at the celestial dome or too high above the ground, a Manta will spawn to save them. It will be a XANA Manta if the warrior was Xanafied and a Hopper Manta otherwise.

Draining
Once the Scyphozoa has caught its target, it will start draining away their avatar protections. The Memory program will also open automatically. The draining process duration depends on the drain mode.
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 run away and disappear.
There are four different effects:
DNA Drain: The Scyphozoa will take away the warrior's DNA, inflicting Missing DNA Sequences on them.
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 50 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 or to become permanently xanafied by destroying the core. This xanafication will be lost if the warrior is devirtualized or sent to the Frontier. The drain duration for this effect is much faster than the others, and can only be inflicted if the drain was fully completed.
Brain Death: Only available if the warrior has DNA issues. If successful, the warrior will be sent to the Frontier after a few seconds. Just like possession, it is much faster than the other modes and can only be inflicted if the drain was fully completed.
Trivia
The Scyphozoa could originally drain knowledge as well. However, this was removed in the Fallen Warriors Update due to not being very interesting.
