Engulf

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Engulf is a status effect which makes the victim unable to breathe. Engulfed creatures are silenced and take asphyxiation damage each turn. It ends when either the engulfer or the victim moves away, or when the engulfer is killed.

Only targets of the same size (or smaller) of the engulfer can be engulfed. Insubstantial monsters, jellies, and spiny monsters are immune to engulfing. Players that are unbreathing or amphibious are immune to engulfing. The slick slippers unrand also gives immunity to engulf.

Can be inflicted by:

• Water elemental
• Quicksilver ooze
• Players with the Engulf mutation.

History

• Prior to 0.22, Engulf made movement 50% slower.
