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

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
