Amphibious (D) is a physical defect that can be chosen upon character creation. Amphibious creatures will thirst 2/3 faster than one without amphibious. By default, the player character loses 20 water units a turn. With Amphibious, this becomes about 33 thirst units a turn.
Quenching thirst while amphibious does not require any special actions. Despite the description, the player character does not need to swim through fresh water or pour on themselves (chosen from the container context menu). In fact, these actions do not quench thirst at all. The only way to quench thirst is to choose Drink or use auto drink.
Hidden Effects
A hidden effect that Amphibious has is that due to not consuming water through the mouth, glotrot cannot putrefy water containers. Amphibious creatures are also unable to vomit due to overdrinking 
water as the excessive amount runs off.
Combating the Effects
Two skills in the Self-discipline skill tree affect how quickly water depletes:
- Fasting Way (17 willpower) decreases the rate of thirst by one half.
- Mind over Body (29 willpower) decreases the rate of thirst by 0.84.
These skills stack each other, so taking Amphibious and Fasting Way would make the rate of thirst about 16 units (20(Base rate) * 1.66 (Amphibious) * 0.5 (Fasting Way).
