    But can a Slann walk the walk, you know, physically?

    I have been wondering for quite some time if Slann are actually able to walk upright, or if they are bound to their Palanquin?

    I dont remember reading any fluff that says whatever.

    also: being a frog and all, can they jump?! :D without the Shadow attribute that is!

    I don't think they do anything physically. Even off their palanquins i think they float. They don't need to do anything physically, they essentially exist on an entirely different realm.

    IIRC the fluff states that the Slann remain on their palaquins so as to keep them from touching the chaos-corrupted earth.

    They cannot touch the ground no, but im wondering hypothetically. I dont think they were playing volleyball before the collapse of the gates though :p

    They can astral project, but they are bound and in need of their physical body (hence Kroak)
    We also know they need food and other sustenance.

    At least one of the older LM books makes references to fifth generation Slann being able to get off their palanquins for short periods of time. Don't see why they would need to do so. I assumed Slann were so advanced they never needed to use the...facilities.

    By coincidence, Son of Bob Scalenex said, "I know what the skink is for!" this afternoon. Same purpose, but with a shovel.

    But do Slanns even eat? Or are they sustained by magic?
