'''Slithy''', when applied to a monster, is explained in the code as meaning having a "serpent body",{{refsrc|monflag.h|93}} but is also used about unserpentine monsters such as [[jellyfish]] and [[shark]]s.

Slithy monsters may not kick,{{refsrc|dokick.c|630}} nor may they jump through mundane means (the [[spellbook of jumping|spell]] works) {{refsrc|apply.c|1217}} or ride a [[steed]]{{refsrc|steed.c|230}}

Having no feet, they cannot wear boots.{{refsrc|do_wear.c|1321}}{{refsrc|polyself.c|662}} A slithy monster which is medium-[[size]]d or smaller may move through [[iron bars]].{{refsrc|mondata.c|passes_bars}}
