Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Death is a common ailment in Dungeon Crawl, and almost invariably lethal.
Like most roguelikes, death in Crawl is permanent. Unless you are playing a felid with extra lives, when your character dies, your save file is deleted and the character is moved to the morgue, at which point a bones file is created for the floor and a player ghost may be generated in order to antagonize you in later games.
Reasons for death include:
- Dropping below 1 HP due to monster attacks, injuring yourself, or lingering effects like poison
- Running out of time on the Zot clock
Here's an example of a quick death by monster damage...
The goblin hits you with an orcish club.
You die...

...and here's one by falling down stairs.
In your confused state, you trip and fall down the stairs.
Ouch! That really hurt!
You die...
Len the Firebug (level 4, 0/20 HPs)
Began as a Fire Elementalist on Oct 1, 2007.
