Passed the validator: real scale, rests on y = 0, front faces +Z, deterministic.

Use it

Code for the specimen as it is set up above; it follows your knobs.

JavaScript
import { createAsset } from 'https://gaitkit.com/cdn/jellyfish.mjs';

const jellyfish = createAsset();
scene.add(jellyfish);                      // rests on y = 0, front faces +Z

let dist = 0;
renderer.setAnimationLoop(() => {
  dist += speed * clock.getDelta();
  jellyfish.position.set(0, groundY + jellyfish.userData.altitude, dist);
  jellyfish.userData.tick(dist);            // the body waves with the distance
  renderer.render(scene, camera);
});

Knobs

kindchoicenettle moon lionsmane crystalnettleSpecies: nettle (tall amber bell with dark stripes, long maroon tentacles and long frilly arms), moon (flat pale bell with a pink four-leaf clover on top, short fringe), lionsmane (red bell trailing a dense mane of tentacles), crystal (clear blue-white, glows strongly).
tentaclesrange0.5 to 2.5, step 0.11Tentacle and oral-arm length as a multiple of the species normal. 2.5 gives long trailing streamers.
glowcolorany colour#7ee8ffColour of the lights around the bell rim and the tentacle tips; they glow in this colour at night.
sizerange0.3 to 4, step 0.11Uniform scale. 1 is the real size of the species (a 26-36 cm bell); 0.3 is a tiny jelly; 4 is a giant metre-wide deep-sea jelly.
