"Jellyper" has "lyper" in it, which sounds like leaper. This is because of members of the family's ability to leap very high. The name also has "jelly" in it, because gelatinous objects have bouncy properties. This is also because members constantly leap, or bounce forward. | "Jellyper" has "lyper" in it, which sounds like leaper. This is because of members of the family's ability to leap very high.
