Re: Neogi and Umber Hulks - air breathing?

According to the Monster Manual II 3rdEd

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Adult Neogi can Poison and Enslave:

Enslave (Su):  Three times a day, a neogi can attempt to enslave any one
living creature within 30 feet.  This ability functions similarly to a
'dominate monster' spell (caster level 16th; Will save DC 15).  An enslaved
creature obeys the neogi's telepathic commands to the letter.  The subject
can attempt a new Will save (DC 15) every 24 hours to break free. 
Otherwise, the neogi's control is broken only by the death of either the
neogi or the enslaved creature, or by a 'remove curse' or 'dispel magic'
effect, or if the neogi travels more than 1 mile from the enslaved creature.
   This ability is not needed for neogis to subdue or control their umber
hulk slaves.

Poison (Ex):  Neogi poison is exceptionally virulent, considering that the
creature itself is so frail.  A neogi delivers its poison (Fortiude save DC
14 for all neogis) with each successful bite attack.  The inital and
secondary damage is the same (1d4 points of Wisdom damage).
   As a standard action, an adult neogi can coat a weapon with poison from
its fangs.  The poison remains active for 1 minute after application and
functions as it does when delivered by means of a bite.

Immune to Mind-Affecting Effects:  Neogis are immune to all mind-affecting
effects.

Skills:  A neogi uses its Dexterity score instead of its strength score for
Climb and Jump checks.

Neogi Society:
   There's notheing to admire about neogi culture.  These creatures are
vicious murderers, plunderers, and slavers.  Perhaps they kill to eat and
enslave whatever is left over.  Either way, their rapacity has made them the
 enemies of every thinking race in the world.  Only the mind flayers are
known to have dealings with neogis, usually over the buying and selling of
slaves.
   Of all the races that neogis enslave umber hulks are their favorites. 
Every neogi posesses at least one umber huylk, raised frim birth to a life
of slavery and conditioned to accept that situation as the natural order. 
These umber hulk slaves take orders from any neogi without question or
thought.  Umber hulk guards keep less compliant slaves (those under the
effect of the neogi's enslave ability) under control and also act as
soldiers in neogi armies and slave raids.
   In the neogis' worldview, ownership si what fuels the universe. 
Everything belongs to the neogis as a whole--if not now, then it did in the
past or it will in the future.  Even a neogi can be owned as a slave by
another neogi, and the slaves can own property and slaves, and those slaves
can own property and other slaves, and so on.
