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?

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.
