[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9099898, member: 177"] Referring to its physiology is imposing real-world biology onto a fantasy creature whose very existence under those biological rules is... questionable. Like, it doesn't have a circulatory system. By normal physics and physiology, that means oxygen cannot reach the center of the cube, and it should die. Does the stat block say it is immune to certain conditions? Yes? Then it is immune. No? Then I'm not sure why we should create immunities for it. Are some results then a little incongruous? Well, then I refer to you something that came from my first ever session of D&D, playing the Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh that my brother ran for us younger ones. He was running with a critical fumble rule, and once had occasion to say: "How does an ant drop it's mouth?" In the end, the ant still missed, even though its mandibles were still attached. You roll with it. [/QUOTE]
