Surge Jelly quick answer
Surge Jelly is a hazard fauna entry most worth checking around Power Plant, Karakorum. Scan it only when you still have a visible route home, enough oxygen to retreat, and a clear reason to add the creature to your current checklist.

| Main region | Power Plant, Karakorum |
| Role | Hazard fauna |

| Risk | High |
Location and route
Start from the closest safe landmark in Power Plant, Karakorum, then make one pass to identify sightlines before committing to the scan. If the creature pulls you away from the marked route, cancel the attempt and return with more oxygen, better mobility, or a vehicle-supported path.
Uses and unlock value
Surge Jelly is mainly useful for threat study and electrical hazard notes. Record the biome, nearby plants, nearby minerals, and the tool loadout that made the scan safe; those notes are more valuable than a one-time sighting during Early Access.
Risk and scan notes
Good candidate for beacon notes in co-op. The safest scan window is after you stop moving, check oxygen, and confirm no larger threat is closing from behind. In co-op, one player should hold the landmark while another scans so the team does not lose the return line.
