A giant eel is a very annoying water monster, fabled for its two-move drowning attack. "The giant eel swings itself around you!"
Escaping drowning
If a giant eel wants you dead, you usually have only one turn to tell it otherwise. On this turn, you can:
- Prayer can get you out of trouble.
- Engrave Elbereth if you are on land, obviously, not on water.
- Try to kill the eel in one turn, or put it to sleep - this is risky
- Teleport it away
- Freeze the water
- Wear an amulet of magical breathing
