Water Suon
The Suon Water Special Gene makes it possible to breathe underwater with gills and lungs in combo. Also gives them webbed fingers to make swimming easier. Also significantly increases the crush depth. This gene was created by Flaybia (underwater nation of Tebburus) to make living underwater easier for its people.
Water suons can be visually identified by a more streamline body, their gills as well as the aforementioned webbed fingers.
Water suons cannot speak while underwater so they have developed sign languages to communicate. They have also developed ways to write underwater - paper will be destroyed so they write on other media instead. The artificial water gene came into existance long after computers were invented, so most people used computers to communicate using a written language. Those cultures with the water gene before computers often used waterproof materials such as rocks. They can survive in underwater or above water conditions indefinitely. The bone structure of a water suon also differs from other suons. They have a higher compressive strength and is designed to take a lot of weight from water pressure. Their bone structure is tighter and more sealed which takes a lot of weight from their organs but can restrict movement in some cases. These extra bones can also make them much harder to kill especially with bludgeoning weapons, though the bone structure tends to not take sudden impacts as well as constant crushing forces. The pathway from their lungs to the mouth is essentially completely collapsed and unusable while underwater, so if eating underwater they dont have to be concerned about food entering their lungs. They also have more channels embedded in their mouth allowing them to remove water from their mouth before swallowing food. They can also drink the water while eating, simply not removing water but most people tend to eat and drink in different sessions. The water channels collapse while on land making them unusable. Even a water suon's nose is designed to function underwater, but the nasal-mouth connection is also collapsed underwater disallowing them from bringing water to their mouth via the nose and vice versa. They can smell materials underwater and on land.
During the unification war, they have developed excellent underwater boat technologies. These are often filled with water which nullifies the requirement for a system that retains an accurate air pressure and makes the submarine significantly harder to crush. They can also make a form of footwear making water traversal much easier allowing them to swim much faster.

Basic Information
Biological Traits
Water suons can completely collapse their own lungs when deep underwater and rely on gills. Additionally, their bodies are designed to withstand a stronger pressure. This increases the crush depth significantly. Water suons are still reliant no their eyes and ears even deep underwater; Tebburus waters are clear and light can pass through it more easily. The inside of their ears have additional reinforcement and are better designed to hear sounds under the water. The surface of their eyes are thickened to give them more strength which in turn makes them larger. Webbed fingers restricts finger movement a little but gives them greater speed underwater.
Behaviour
Same as regular suons except they are not afraid of drowning (or water in general)
