Version 0.16: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Fly is a status effect that sends you soaring above the ground. A flying player can ignore the penalties of shallow water, cross patches of deep water and lava, and gets a small increase to speed if the character is a tengu. The only downside to flying is that it greatly increases the damage you take from the Airstrike spell; consider landing before facing foes who know it.

Flight removes some bonuses and penalties to stealth:

Gargoyles, tengu, and black draconians eventually acquire the innate ability to fly. Other species must rely upon magic, equipment, or potions.

History

Prior to 0.16, flight protected you from mechanical traps.
