Unbreathing creatures do not require air to survive. For monsters, these include undead, nonliving, and plant-type enemies. For players, being undead ([[Ghoul, bloodless Vampire, Mummy), a Gargoyle or Djinni, or certain forms (Ice Form, Statue Form, Lich Form, Tree Form, or Wisp Form) confers unbreathing.

Unbreathing creatures are immune to drowning damage (engulf, 50% of Primal Wave). They are also immune to "spore" effects: the sleep of sleepcaps, the confusion of wandering mushrooms, and players in Fungus Form

History

  • Prior to 0.27, unbreathing gave immunity to curare's damage (but not the poison/slow), Mephitic Cloud, poison clouds, and miasma/Sickness. Also, grey Draconians had unbreathing (in 0.27, gained amphibiousness, allowing them to resist drowning).
  • Prior to 0.26, unbreathing creatures were not immune to miasma.
