Water Breathing

Water breathing is a magical or supernatural ability allowing a person or creature to breathe underwater without needing external air. In fantasy or science fiction, this power often involves mystical or technological means that enable the lungs to extract oxygen from water, much like gills in aquatic animals. It removes the limitation of surface breathing, allowing prolonged or unrestricted underwater activity. While actual humans cannot naturally breathe underwater, water breathing in stories symbolizes adaptability and mastery over environments typically inhospitable to humans.
