If NO creature fails all the saves, then the portal is merely opened to the creature.If there is only ONE available creature, then the chance that it fails all the relevant saves is so vanishingly small that it falls under the D&D radar of 5%, and is therefore considered impossible.If you make any specification which would allow more than one creature to fill it, then there are (because of the nature of an infinite universe), an infinite number of creatures which would fill the specification, therefore you get a random creature that you have never met before and probably never will again.</blockquote>
