Amphibious (D) is a physical defect that affects the player's thirst.
Amphibious creatures will thirst ~67% faster than creatures without Amphibious. By default, the player character loses 20 water units a turn. With Amphibious, this becomes about 33 water units a turn.
Despite the description, players with Amphibious still have to drink 
water as normal to hydrate themselves; pouring water over themselves does nothing. Automatic drinking also functions as normal.
Amphibious creatures with glotrot cannot contaminate containers they drink from with 
putrescence when the automatically drink auto function is used. However, this is still possible when choosing to manually drink from a container. Amphibious creatures are also unable to vomit due to overdrinking.
Cosmetic Differences
Players with Amphibious have several cosmetic changes compared to players without.
When a player with Amphibious drinks water, the following message will be displayed:
You pour the water on yourself! You are now <Thirst level>. |
Additionally, the player's thirst levels will have different names:
| Thirst Level (Default) | Thirst Level (Amphibious) |
|---|---|
| Tumescent | Soaked |
| Quenched | Wet |
| Thirsty | Moist |
| Parched | Dry |
| Dehydrated! | Dessicated! |
