View source for Submerges

{{version021}}

Non-adjacent monsters with the '''Submerges''' flag are able to hide or remain hidden in their current tile, ''even if in clear [[LOS]] of the player''. A monster so hiding is indistinguishable from the terrain it occupies. While submerged, the monster may move and remain completely hidden. However, any submerged monster adjacent to the player becomes immediately revealed. Typically, this is seen when [[:Category:Submerges|certain]] water-based creatures hide in [[water]] or lava-based creatures hide in [[lava]]. However, the [[trapdoor spider]] can hide on an ordinary dungeon tile (think of it as burrowing underneath the floor).

==History==
Prior to [[0.18]], monsters with this flag could resubmerge if the player managed to escape their notice.
