History Main / ArtificialGill

* The underwater materia in ''FinalFantasyVII''

** The SCUBA Gear reappears in the Oceanfloor assault map in ''UnrealTournament''.

* ''Game/BreathOfFire'' required you to find a gill key item to let any character other than Gobi (a fishman) travel underwater.

** ''OcarinaOfTime'' has the Zora Tunic that lets Link breath underwater.

* ''DukeNukem3D'' has a scuba gear pickup which lets the player spend several minutes underwater, as opposed to maybe 30 seconds without it.

* Underwater gear generally falls into two categories, tanks of compressed air, and rebreathers. The former exhales directly into the water (leading to the characteristic bubbles), while the latter simply filters out the [=CO2=] so the oxygen can be re-used.

** Later there is a device in Celestia that allows the player to breath in the underwater areas. It was designed by the [[{{Precursors}} Celestians]] to survive when the [[WildCard Storm Titan]] betrayed them and flooded their world. [[YouAreTooLate To bad they finished it too late.]]

* {{Wizard101}} has underwater breathing potions early in the game to allow access to a street that is completely underwater. However due to the game mechanics players can teleport to this area without adverse effects.

* ''FalloutNewVegas'' gives you a rebreather if you help the Boomers, but other than a related mission and two caves there is absolutely nothing to see in the depths of Lake Mead. Maybe in the [=DLC=]...

* Mario gets one for the Literal Bottle levels in ''SuperMarioSunshine''. It extends the time he can breathe underwater without grabbing coins.

* ''WorldOfWarcraft'' has a few spells for this (aquatic form and the warlock one are the two I can remember right now, but I'm quite sure there are a few others).
** Specifically: druid aquatic form, warlock Unending Breath, shaman Water Breathing, the Deepdive Helmet created by engineering, the Hydrocane that drops in Gnomeregan, Nagrand Cherries acquired from a quest in Outland, and a few potions created by alchemy, to be exact. Oh, yes--and a quest-granted buff in Vashj'ir that will be added in ''Cataclysm''. (There may be more.)

* ''[[{{Babylon5}} Babylon 5]]'': Several races need to use breathers when going into the alien sector and several alien races need to use breathers to travel the rest of the station. Also, G'Kar has gills surgically added that allow him to breath in alien atmospheres without a device. Lyta gets a set after being TouchedByVorlons.

* ''Game/{{Unreal}}'' has SCUBA gears available whenever the player must proceed underwater. They have a limited air supply that runs out pretty quickly. The expansion pack features a new one that not only lasts longer, but also recharges whenever surfaced.

* The animated ''FlashGordon'' had an episode with featuring a literal ArtificialGill: It was a metal collar with gills, that also prevented the wearer from breathing outside of water.

** There are also some devices that allow water-breathers to go on land. These devices were somewhat significant in the 2007 storyline and onwards.

* In the KingsQuestII fan remake, a mermaid gives King Graham a kiss that somehow lets him breathe underwater.
