wait first off how do you even know ceadeus is an air breather? what if gills are hidden beneath that beard? secondly i would highly doubt under any circumstance that a deep see creature would grow an actual beard to keep warm under water. any aquatic mammals have a sheen oily coat to trap heat and reduce drag and anything else uses blubber as a means to stay warm. i think a better sugggestion is that the beard is actually a bit of a harder substance like baleen which LOOKS like hair. of course baleen is kinda tough and would be more practical for a deep sea dweller. for what use though seems to be more a question. now as stated before there are plenty of other deep sea creatures who are birthed by egg and along with a set of gills could be a nice nutrient filled pouch to secure said egg like a sea horse or could even give live birth but that still doesn't necessarily mean the young HAVE to absolutely with no doubt be the size of a young blue whale. there are animals in the animal kingdom that have neonates as small as an inch like the kangaroo and others. ceadeus young could be reasonably small.. i don't see how that is even an issue. IF in fact the beard is at all concealing the a pouch could be easily hidden within and would even mean faster travel for the young ceadeus if in fact ceadeus is an air breather and needs to surface.
