Breathless

Being breathless allows a players to travel underwater, making them amphibious.[1]. Furthermore, breathless players cannot choke on food, but will instead "vomit voluminously" and lose 1000 nutrition.[2] Breathlessness protects from sleeping gas traps[3][4][5] and stinking clouds.[6][7] It will not protect from a worn amulet of strangulation; the messages will change but the player still dies from having their neck crushed.

Breathlessness is only granted by eating or wearing an amulet of magical breathing, but possessed naturally by many monsters.
