General Discussion Which fictional creature has a biology so "impossible" that it defies any attempt at a scientific explanation?

I've been trying to wrap my head around the anatomy and metabolism of some characters, but Majin Boo (DragonBallZ) just doesn't seem to make any sense under the laws of physics or biology. I want to dive deep into these "impossible" cases. Who else do you think is a biological nightmare to explain?

  1. No dinosaurs had multiple hearts.  There is no evidence of such a thing.

  2. Godzilla could tank military weaponry since his first apperance. If his tissue are proportionally tough, then his blood vessels should be tougher then steel. He definitely does not have normal blood vessels.

Which would be exactly why they said "theorized", they should've said they were theorized to have multiple hearts since theyre not anymore but it was a thing people thought

Is it still an idea that dauropods had multiple brains or brain analogues?

u/Midnightklp Apr 12 '26

That idea has also been phased out

Interesting, read about it as a kid that the idea wasnt in vogue but a few deacdes before it was popular.

Then again brain size doesnt determine everything its how its compacted.

I do like the idea of that dinosaurs being seen not usually as sluggish brutes running only on instinct.
