Respiratoorseid is a term that appears mainly in speculative biology and some science fiction, used to describe a hypothetical clade of organisms with extraordinary respiratory adaptations. It is not an officially recognized taxon, and there is no peer‑reviewed description of a real organism by that name.
In speculative contexts, respiratoorseids are imagined to possess highly flexible metabolism and respiratory systems that enable

Scholarly discussions of the concept are typically framed as thought experiments to explore how respiration might
