Regeneration 1

It would seem that the comb jellie can regenerate. When chopped up, it begins to regrow lost body parts, even going so far as to regrow portions of its brain. Neurobiologist Moroz discovered this while handling one of the animals. He accidentally cut off part of the creatures brain and it within a day or such it had regrown.

Granted the brain is pretty simple, not much more than a series of neuron cells interconnected. But still the little bastard regenerated.

And that aint no small feat!
