It'd be science vs nature.

It'd be cool to see the systems interact

But it'd be sad because the simple mob has no hands and cannot drink multiliver

I think that's start to push the definition of a 'simple' mob. When we start just giving them carbon interactions, we may as well just make them functionally that. That's why xenos can be affected by poisons, after all.

Yeah, it's less that they're intentionally immune and more that they just lack so many necessary things to make this work. Like organs and metabolism and blood and half the things chems affect. (Subject has no brain! poor pets :P)

So maybe the question is more, "what cool things could be done if this would be supported" rather than what trying to figure out why immunity was granted, as its more just an unexplored space (?) than one blocked.
