Undead neogi "no longer need to  ... breathe," therefore, it is logical 
to conclude that *living* neogi do  need to breathe.



My apologies if I offend but that has to be the weakest arguement I have  
heard so far. You are talking about UNDEAD neogi. The undead have no need to  
breathe since they are already dead and are reanimated. Vampires don't  need to 
breathe. Liches don't need to breathe. Did Strahd von Zarovich, the  Dracula 
clone of Ravenloft, need to breathe when he was still alive? He was  human so of 
course he did. You give up a lot of things when you become  undead, 
breathing, the need to eat, the ability to procreate (most of the  time, vampires in 
some stories have been able to do so but in other stories  this is just not 
mentioned or assumed that the sex drive died along with  the body)
