I was about to say. I thought maybe it was just me!! No, Neogi *do* 
need to breathe. It's a good thing you wrote to corroborate this, 
Rian... I'm currently working on a Monstrous Arcana-style guide to the 
Neogi for the benefit of some of my players, and when I Dreamer's post 
I was wondering if maybe I was going to have to scrap half of what I'd 
already written about Neogi exploits in the void in order to maintain 
consistency with the SJ community...
