They're airbreathers, but they have to breathe on a _hourly_ basis, not
a "secondly" basis as a human swimmer does. So they may not be all that
directly comparable. Not unlike say a sperm whale, say, to take an
extreme example. Like Andrew, I suspect that Magasta's Brats may be "in
league with", or instruments of, the Closing, rather than being subject
to it themselves.
