		+	A '''steam vortex''', {{monsym\|steam vortex}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]''. The steam vortex is a type of [[vortex]] that can be seen via [[infravision]], and is the weaker of two vortices with an affinity to [[fire]], with the other being the [[fire vortex]].
		+
		+	A steam vortex has an engulfing attack that deals fire damage, which is replaced with a "claw" attack that deals fire damage and can destroy [[scroll]]s, [[spellbook]]s and [[potion]]s in the target's inventory if the attack hits the [[hero]] during the grace period where they were expelled and cannot be re-engulfed.{{refsrc\|src/mhitu.c\|319\|nethack=3.6.7}} Steam vortices possess [[fire resistance]], [[sleep resistance]], [[poison resistance]], and [[stoning resistance]].
		+
		+	{{upcoming\|NetHack 3.7.0\|Steam clouds trail temporary [[cloud]]s of steam as they move, and dissipate into a somewhat larger group of temporary clouds when they are destroyed.}}
		+
		+	==Generation==
		+	Randomly generated steam vortices are always created hostile, and are only created in [[Gehennom]].
		+
		+	Steam vortices [[Corpseless\|do not leave a corpse]] upon death.
		+
		+	==Strategy==
		+	Despite being somewhat stronger than an [[ice vortex]] and even faster than the dreaded [[energy vortex]] at 22 [[speed]], steam vortices are not too threatening: most heroes will have obtained fire resistance by the time they encounter one normally, and even heroes lacking fire resistance will be able to handle the relatively low damage.
		+
		+	==History==
		+	The steam vortex first appears in [[NetHack 3.0.0]].
		+
		+	==Messages==
		+	{{message\|You are burning to a crisp!\|You were engulfed by a steam vortex or fire vortex.}}
		+	{{message\|[[You feel]] mildly hot.\|As above, but you have fire resistance.}}
		+
		+	{{message\|<[[Foo]]> is burning to a crisp!\|You engulfed a monster while in the form of a steam vortex or fire vortex.}}
		+	{{message\|<Foo> seems mildly hot.\|As above, but the monster has fire resistance.}}
		+
		+	{{message\|You [[smell]] steam.\|A monster [[polymorph]]ed into a steam vortex outside of your sight.}}
		+
		+	==Variants==
		+	===SLASH'EM===
		+	In [[SLASH'EM]], steam vortices [[Need +x weapon to hit\|require a +1 weapon or better to be hit]] and implicitly [[Hits creatures as +x weapon\|hit as +1 weapons]].
		+
		+	===dNetHack===
		+	In [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]], the steam vortex and almost all other vortices (except for the [[yochlol]]'s stinking cloud form) take halved damage from blunt, piercing and slashing weapons.
