 Combined with the Plane of Water and its moving air bubbles, the outcome is likely to be disastrous for most [[ascension run]]s&mdash;even if the deep ones are not the biggest threats present (e.g. contending with [[Uiscerre Eladrin]] and [[charybdisone]]s that cannot be genocided), Hydra and Dagon appearing as a result of incarnating into a deepest one on this level is immensely perilous if not handled correctly, since the other deep ones may grow up enough that Hydra and Dagon will be able to reincarnate from them as well. Additionally, higher concentrations of deep ones mean that [[iron]]-hating heroes such as [[Elf (starting race)#dNetHack|elves]], [[Drow (starting race)#dNetHack|drow]] and [[Yuki-onna (starting race)|yuki-onna]] are especially vulnerable to swarms of them.
