Version 0.31: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

An amphibious creature is one that is equally at home on land and in water, such as merfolk, sea snakes, and alligators:

They have no penalty for moving or fighting in water (though they are still revealed if invisible in water).
They can swim in deep water.
They are immune to drowning / asphyxiation damage.
If the player started out as an amphibious species, items are not lost when dropped into deep water.

Player species that are amphibious are Merfolk, Octopodes, grey Draconians, and Barachim.
