They breed in [[Flisch Marsh]], where they congregate each year. They are at their most vulnerable at this time, but they must do this in order to protect they're young from predators, like the [[Soma Tailswimmer|soma tailswimmer]]. But due to the flora taking up the water in the marsh, there is not much oxygen in the water, so the gillungs have evolved an amazingly simple coping mechanism, they can breathe air when they need to. To do this they flip backwards out of the water, catching air in their gill intakes, then they clamp them shut until they use up the bubble. They only need to do this if they're not getting enough oxygen from the water. They now have a branchiostegal lung that allows for the diffusion of oxygen, but still have gills. This allows their young to develop healthier and stronger. |
