These Gands were adapted to breathing only ammonia and, unlike the lungless variety, could not survive offworld without respiratory gear.The New Essential Guide to Alien Species Oxygen exposure could burn the inside of the lungs like acid, which would require organ transplants. If a breather Gand were exposed to oxygen, that individual would display various respiratory symptoms, which included chest pain, shortness of breath, and coughing, which would bring up blood.
