Galatean

"Though their bodies are composed of stone, galateans move and reshape themselves with a remarkable fluidity, and with the aid of their innate control over soil, are known to move through the earth like a fish through water in search of rocks and minerals to consume. Those disparate rocks, once absorbed into the galatean's body, all gradually crystallize into something akin to marble. As their bodies become more homogeneous, they become more brittle, eventually becoming little more than inert statues. To help avoid this fate, many galateans willingly shed crystallized portions of their bodies, reducing the amount of new rock they must consume to remain mobile." --Dr. Agnolo Giordano, Othyrian Royal Order of Medicine
