41. Do they get sick often?
Another thing that I’ve never really given much consideration–monster illnesses.
Edge
Edge doesn’t really get ‘sick’–but (especially when he’s still living underground), he is very prone to suffering symptoms of low HP (due to his lifestyle). If he gets into a particularly bad fight, he might need a few days to recover and heal (both physically and emotionally). But, I wouldn’t call this a ‘sickness’. It’s mostly just exhaustion. His immune system is pretty strong, with his HP providing a good buffer against disease.
Stretch
Stretch is a lot more prone to magical-related illnesses than Edge is. With his low HP, his body isn’t very well-equipped to fight off even the smallest of viruses or bacteria. He’s also in a lot more danger of Falling Down, but with the support of his brother (and later, Edge), Falling Down isn’t too much of a concern. He just needs lots of attention and hugs. He’s a soft boy. (And when Stretch does get sick, he’s very well taken care of–either by his brother or Edge. Just wrap him in blankets and let him sleep it off).
