Ooh good point. Somehow, I think it would be pulled like the Hydra was. Speculation on the entity: Looking at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqSS0sSff44 It would appear that either some mesh blending is going on (Instead of just no-coliding some blobs and moving them togeather) or there's some material implemented that appears to blend. If you look further on smooth bumps are produced between the main blobs, which leads me to the mesh blending/defomation idea.
