Jellyfish actually don't shock. They sting. They have little barbs on their tentacles (the long flowing things attached to the main body) that are filled with venom. That venom paralyzes prey, such as small fish or other small ocean animals when they wander into the tentacles. The venom isn't enough to kill a human, just give them a very bad rash that will hurt a lot! (unless they have a major allergic reaction.)
