Must spend a turn to stand up.

If a creature is knocked prone, they require one turn to stand back up again. Creatures who have the Carapace mutation have a mutation level-based chance of being Immobilized instead of prone. If prone on an object that can be laid on, such as a bedroll, the creature's effect is renamed to lying on (object).
