Q&A

Are kaiju more probable if they aren't carbon-based lifeforms?

+0
−0

I don't know the science involved, so I'm hoping someone else does. But is it more probable a giant creature of that size and capability would be more likely to exist if it were, say, a silicon-based lifeform? Or maybe arsenic? I'm not sure what element would make the most sense on the periodic table, or if it doesn't make a difference. I'm just trying to find a potential way around stuff like, say, kaiju would probably be crushed under their own weight, their lungs would collapse, their metabolism would be out of control, etc.
