This seems like a very interesting idea. I wouldn't mind if it had an inclusion in the game. Perhaps as some more useful drops, it could drop a "Giant Glowstick", which is like a Boomerang. And a "Shocking Jellyball", which is a pink gel flail that sparks like electricity. I will leave the balancing to you, as this is your thread. I just wanted to give some ideas.

Good ideas actually. Gonna make sprites for them ^_^
 
Aw, I love this suggestion. As soon as I read the title, I kind of assumed it resembled the King Slime a bit. Seems pretty original, but you may need to elaborate 'here and there' so we can be more informed about the idea. Great job either way.
 
Queen Jellyfish boss
A diver should be seen inside of her, like a ninja inside of King Slime

Sorry for my bad english
UPD: Added a summoning item

Make a banner so I can support this!
 
Very nice, this is a pretty great idea. since the ocean definitely needs more to it. Queen Jellyfish could be the first actual ocean boss! IMO- I think she should be frilly and glowy, just for cool looks.
 
Its basically an underwater king slime isn't it?

See, problem with these are that I have no reason to kill it. I mean, for a lot of earlygame gold and platinum is pretty valuable. (I assume its a gold/plat crown as I have not read otherwise but I could just be blind.) Not only that, but fishing is just a huge pain for me, and I usually don't actually start until late hardmode when I have some time to kill.

The only times I actually face king slime is deep into hardmode when plat/gold isn't really valuable anymore or it randomly spawns. Even then it's mostly for the trophy and hat, he has nothing I need (though the slimy saddle is admittedly nice.) I have a feeling we're going to have the same problem here.
 
King slime is one of my favorite bosses. I would enjoy seeing the item effects. Is there a picture of the jellyfish summoner weapon?
 
They already have royalty bosses, king slime and queen bee, but it's a legit idea.

@LoM2 is right

I'm not the best at gifs either, but if you want I could make you some sprites to work with. Also, since it's a boss I think it should have a Queen jellyfish mask. Maybe it could look like a pink jellyfish with crown on your head? I think it should give you poison when it attacks you as well.
