Well, kind of. It has only been established in 1 species of jellyfish, and it reverts back to a polyp, so sort of like a juvenile, rather than a fertilized "egg" structure. Yes very different creatures and life cycles!!

Like going through a metamorphosis or into a cocoon of some sort I'd have been okay with. Supposedly the Book Windwalkers form a crysalis and transform into ... something (Cowell never elaborated on that). Or like an almost death and then 'shedding an outer shell' in a blaze of glory or something (so his mass would be reduced). Still kind of 'out there' but somehow more plausible, I guess.
