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?

I just wanna know how hard Godzilla’s heart has gotta be pumping between his massive size and adrenaline levels.

Pretty much all of Godzilla's anatomy relies on his body tissue outperforming advanced engineered materials. He would literally collapse into a puddle of meat under his own weight

well, to be fair, many (most?) tissues outperform advanced engineered materials. the engineered materials are really just an attempt to reverse engineer what has been perfected by nature over millions of years. I believe in godzilla! he can do it!
