Ok, it's like this, the hundreds of scales on its feet acting together with its leg muscles act as a locking mechanism. Whenever its about to fall, the scales would come into place and the muscles would retract, enabling it to stay afoot. You can say that whenever he sleeps its like he's sitting on a boulder. It takes no energy. He can't be tripped, the upper body weight is below the lower body weight, and the tail acts like a tripod, being flat and heavy. Also, this notorious ability comes from its ancestral background on the battlefield. Armies trained it to keep standing and keep moving until it dies. And thanks for the compliment, you too GreatHunter.
