CoAS, Chapter 1, "The Helm", final paragraph, pg.9: "Finally, there are a surprising number of monsters living in wildspace, surviving by being so large that they carry a significant air supply with them wherever they go (such as space dragons), by retaining air within their bodies (gas fish), or by not needing to breathe at all (the neogi)." I've always played the neogi as not needing to breath on that basis... I'm quite often finding bits of rule books, some of which I've used for years, and know inside out, that contain surprising things! -- Dreamer dreamer@??????.?????.??.uk http://www.romsys.demon.co.uk/
