"Come on, it's so easy. It's breathing!"

The mud monster remains impassive, as if it didn't hear you.

"I said, come on, it's so easy. It's breat..."

"I heard you, young adventurer." (I said as if, don't take it out on me.)

"I'm struck by your intuition. You're the first of many to have responded correctly."

You wonder how it's possible that there are people who have made a mistake with this riddle, your faith in mankind is lost... but it's a thought you keep to yourself.

The monster, in fact suddenly melts into the lake of mud from which it was generated, leaving you free!

To another room!
