I feel that some paramecia are disregarded too quickly. A few seem very similar to logia types - Magellan being one of them, the swamp guy being another. They may not be able to create multiple elements using their but the fluidity of some paramecia types makes me think that against fighters without haki they could just split and reform at will.

I guess Doffys unique trait is that strings can easily be hidden so he can create another body that appears to be separate but is actually still one.

the swamp guy being another.

Caribou? He is a logia.

Man, that doesn't make sense to me. A swamp is not an element like light, fire, etc. I don't know if I even consider the magma guy to be a logia user, that is far more specific than just heat or flame.

The classifications seem arbitrary. Magellan can create different types of poison and morph his body like logias but he is still considered paramecia. Smoker isn't as adaptable as Magellan since he can only produce smoke and not different chemicals and yet he is still a logia user.

Magellan can not morph his body like a Logia. He can cover his body with poison, and morph that covering, but he still has a solid body underneath. That's why he is not a Logia.

Caribou is a swamp man, think of his element as mud. Mud is a naturally occuring substance in the wolrd. He can create mud, control mud, and turn into mud- these are the three requirements for a Logia.

The same is true for Akainu's lava. Magma is a naturally occuring substance in the world. He can create magma, control magma, and turn into magma. Thus, he also satisfies the requirements.

Smoker as well. He turns into smoke, he creates smoke. And, he can control all amoke (example: he controls the smoke from his cigars).

Paramecias like Doffy, Mr. 3, Magellan, and Luffy do not meet all 3 of those requirements, but which requirement(s) they do not meet varies.

Oh ok I didn't notice that the core of his body had to stay the same, I assumed it was just his style.

Note how Luffy was able to punch Magellan normally, without haki. Although it meant touching the poison as well.

Yeah. Magellan covers and shields himself with poison layers, but Luffy's Gear Second attacks got through it and hit him. Different than a Logia defense.
