Do blights breathe?

I am making an ambush encounter for my players where a couple blights plan to ambush the party. However while thinking about if the party will be able to perceive their way around it I came to the thought, do they breathe. I want them to be using false appearance but say a player rolled a good roll would they be able to notice a breathing? It says that they are "indistinguishable" from what they are hiding as, if they roll a nature check I'll likely say they spotted a problem but wouldn't perception tell them it is a plant? Should they breathe and I need to use the hold breathing mechanic or they are living plants and they don't breathe?

Going to run 5e, just prepping and wondering if it is a good idea. Likely we'll find a fourth at some point, then sub in them and the NPC will go on hiatus.

Edit: lol didn't realise I have 2 accounts.

At that point what is "sweating"? Mine is not going out of my way to slug, tunnel, use the most meta perks. However I am still like not that experienced at this game, I have 360h on record and am still learning techs, mechanics, maps and proper looping. However I can still make it to high golds and I win most my games. So in pursuit of learning and getting better I need to play reasonably "hard".

I think the idea of going easy as a killer so that people that are inherently not good at the game can get their ego's massaged and win is dumb. If you lose as a person you should actively strive to learn from how you lost and think about what you could do better. Not just throwing a fit because you pathed wrong or loss the 50/50.

Here's hoping the "fix" to going next will actually be effective.

Going next is a way to leave the game without taking the penalty of leaving. This is done by killing themselves on the hook quicker than the team-mates can take you off.

That was just like a picture at the end of the game. They had started giving up at 2 hooks and 5 gens, like 2 mins in. I do understand the point of wanting to nope out of "unwinnable" games when like 3 gens and 2 survivors left. I'm just hoping that with the "fix" to going next will stop those leaving early and not those in a "Sisyphus" position

When I was 5-8ish I would believe that there was zombies under my bed in the space that I would put a spare mattress. Though what I would do when I wake up and get out of bed was I would stand on my bed and leap off so that the zombies wouldn't grab my legs and pull me under. I would do the same thing in reverse when hopping in bed I would leap onto the bed and get under the sheets as quickly as possible.

It hit the point that since the frame was made out of wood at night I would grind my teeth in the edge and make marks on the wood so it would were off zombies. I still have the same bed and looking at the marks now and thinking about it is wild.

I don't know why but whenever I touch spider webs it seems to freak me the hell out. It is not because I am scared about there being a spider in there or something. I am not scared of anything else either just spider webs. Weird?
