Can a "boneless" flying creature exist?
The creature was originally a human, altered by an external agent that basically remade its body (carbon based). The creature is roughly 2 meters and relatively light. It is humanoid and boneless, with muscles much like an octopus, having similar compressibility skills, but also has a series of internal structures that can soften and harden at will similarly to a sea cucumber, which are more abundant where the skull and sternum would be. Could such a thing work? If not, what changes could be made for it to be plausible? The forelimbs are much alike those of a pretosaur, with 2 "fingers" directed for sustaining the membrane instead of 1
