Although PCs could see such a creature they could only perceive parts of it at a time. As it moves it would appear to change shape and size and would appear organic but have an unrecognizable/incomprehensible anatomy. The creature could even surround the PCs by moving through its unseen fourth dimension, which for the PCs would appear that it was disapearing and reapearing in different locations. Not limited to three dimensions it could also effectively flank several opponents by itself with parts of its body appearing on different sides of them at once. A particularly nasty tactic would be for the creature to move through its extra dimension to circumvent the PCs' defenses, by reaching past their armor, shields and flesh it could attack their inner organs directly, effectively tearing them apart from the inside out.For instance imagine encountering a huge-sized "creature" that at first appears to be a disconnected group of six green scaled ovoids only a foot or two in diameter and floating above the ground. What the PCs are seeing are only the parts of a single creature which happen to be intersecting their three dimensions. As the "creature" notices them it turns to face them in a defensive posture by presenting the more heavily armored parts of its body. The scales on the six ovoids begin to flow accross their surfaces becoming heavier and rougher until some of the ovoids merge together into two smaller spheres covered in bone-spurs and horns. As it moves to attack the two horned spheres grow larger and sway from side to side as the creature approaches. As it attacks, the two spheres appear to burst appart into a collection of twelve writhing masses covered in razor-sharp barbs that move quickly at the PCs from every direction but don't seem to hit them though they feel a searing pain in their chests as the creature tears their soft flesh apart from the inside. The twelve spheres then quickly reform into the two larger horned spheres as before.The monster can never disapear completly since some of its body is always visible in our three dimensions. It is however impossible for the PCs to see all of the creature at once since they simply can't see its four dimensional body. Does anyone get what I'm describing? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
