Status effects are temporary enhancements and ailments that both you and the inhabitants of the Dungeon can benefit or suffer from. Unlike mutations, status effects will run their course after enough time has passed or after you escape whatever's inflicting the effect. Many status effects can be cured or prevented in a variety of ways; see their individual pages for details. There are also in-game descriptions of statuses available (hit ?, then /, then t for sTatus, then type in the indicator text you see).
Most status effects will display a coloured (often abbreviated) word in your character information for as long as they last. Status effects that have a limited duration will often turn a darker colour as the effect nears its end, whereas other status effects use a darker colour to indicate increasing severity of the effect.

Fast
All actions performed by a hasted creature take 66% as long as normal to complete.

See the magic contamination page for more details.

Sluggish

Your Swiftness wore off, and now you have to spend several turns moving slower than normal.
Stat Zero

A servant of whispers has cast a spell that prevents clouds from forming for the duration.
