A breath weapon is an exhalation of elemental or gaseous force produced at will by a creature, causing damage and other effects over a widespread area. Contrary to popular belief, the breath does not originate from the creature's biological structure, but rather from an idiosyncratic gland that can be found high in the creature's throat, allowing the effect to be channelled outwards through the mouth, without bringing harm to the creature. Depending on the form of the breath weapon, the creature's mouth may be specially plated in order to withstand the passage of fire, acid, electricity and other potential effects. Creatures are never subject to their own breath weapon, or to attacks in the form of the breath they are able to spew forth.
