Cnidaria is an icy moon that orbits the brown dwarf Lazarus. It has massive subsurface oceans with a vibrant ecosystem of bioluminiscent organisms.

In Universe PH-323, Cnidaria is the last bastion for humanity standing against the Oracle. It is where PHIAjellyfish has headquartered her version of the PHIA Phorce. In Universe PH-322 however, it is little more than a remote tourist destination where visitors are often taken on submarine rides to view the exotic native wildlife.

Biosphere

Cnidaria, despite being an ice-covered moon, features an incredibly diverse biosphere in its subsurface oceans. Geothermal vents sustain a vibrant ecosystem of animals that heavily resemble deep sea life on Earth. One of the most notable animals are giant, bioluminiscent jellyfish. While beautiful to look at, its tentacles are extremely venomous although they do not attack humans except in self-defense.

The Cnidarian lobber is another well-known creature and a local delicacy. It is a crustacean species that, despite its name, does not have any genetic relation to Merin's lobbers. It received its name only due to being a remarkably similarily evolved species, and its appearance is largely attributed to the phenomenon of carcinization.
