Skull Galaxy Puzzle Solution

While solving this puzzle, I had the most trouble solving the riddle for the bottom pillar. The description of the object as "alive without breathing" and "always drinking" made me think of plants. However, all the in-game plants contradicted the cold and thirstless parts of the riddle. I was able to decode the riddle by going through all of the living items in the game I'd obtained so far. After seeing the fish, I realized that the second line referred to aquatic creatures and I was finally able to solve the riddle.
