Trait Category: Metabolic Trait Type: Definition
One's respiration trait determines how one breathes, which has a number of consequences: what environments one can breathe in, how efficient one's breathing is in those environments, and so on. The most common means of respiration is simple air-breathing lungs, but a variety of other methods of breathing exist.
Development Information: The respiration trait was created by Chaos and is maintained by Lost Souls; the source code was last updated Tue Feb 26 00:15:21 2013.
