Re: Neogi and Umber Hulks - air breathing?

Well, I would say they do breathe, because it's silly to assume they 
don't based on a single passage in a single source that is written in 
such a way that it appears to reference some justification of the 
ability elsewhere, but really doesn't. What would the explanation for 
it be? I mean, it's not like you're talking about a race that can 
breathe both water and air. And other creatures that can survive in 
Wildspace without air (Kindori, Krajen) are fairly alien -- even moreso 
than the Neogi.
