The 'diffuse' part is the first bit which puzzles me. A huge mound with a hundred tentacles seems to fit 'homogenous' but not really 'diffuse', at least according to the description in Basic. You might say it is so huge that its body molecules are only as vulnerable as a swarm of flies when attacked by SM0 humans, I suppose (though it seems a stretch). Or is it a being of pure energy?

The next bit that seems odd is that the cleric could invoke a prayer effect to remove that status by divine fiat. If you have enough 'buying power' with God to transform the whole nature of a vast Eldritch Being to a different nature entirely, why not just have God unmake him or slay him? Maybe that's because I am not au fait with DF.
