[QUOTE="Baron Opal, post: 3631779, member: 10433"] Hmm- The first thing that comes to mind are the macrophages. These are the white blood cells that slither and creep through as well as outside of your blood vessles looking for bacteria and other foreigners. Mast cells that rupture when they contact allergens spraying chemical messengers that agitate the local tissues and call other white blood cells. Compliment, which sticks to bacteria, viruses and other foreign things. The bacteria become immobilized or stick to each other, making it easier for the white blood cells to find. Macrophages - ochre jellies and other oozes. Mast cells - chemical alarms. Compliment - Living Spells: [I]web[/I] and/or [I]slow[/I]. Perhaps both, there are many types of compliment. What fantastic organs would a [I]god[/I] have? Assuming for the moment that the deific cadaver is and ideal frozen in death, mimicing the living beings around it in shape and composition, each of the organ systems would either support or promote the ideal in question. Osteoblasts would be dangerous. Quadinucleated cells that could petrify adventurers crawling through the cancellous tunnels of godsbone. Parasites would be interesting. I could see aboleth harvesting brain matter to incorporate vast and ancient wisdom into their racial memories. Carrion crawlers or even purple worms burrowing through the godsflesh before pupating to transform into ... what? There's a start. I could dig up some textbooks if that's useful for you. [/QUOTE]
