      depends on how much nitrogen is diffused through their bloodstream and soft tissues. for a creature living at those depths, I’d wager: not a lot.

      also, nitrogen narcosis is probably not very noticeable compared to being clamped down by 20’ jaws and dragged to the surface while being chewed.
