Breathlessness is a property in NetHack that makes a monster amphibious, allowing them to travel underwater.[1]
The only item that grants the property is the amulet of magical breathing - various monsters also have the property intrinsically.
Contents
Description
While breathless, you can breathe while underwater without drowning by any means, though your inventory will be subject to water damage as usual - you are also protected from the lethal effects of poison clouds, the effects of sleeping gas traps and the engulfing attacks of fog clouds.[2][3][4][5][6] You cannot choke from eating food while breathless: you will instead "vomit voluminously" and lose 1000 nutrition.[7]
Breathlessness does not protect from a worn amulet of strangulation unless the player is also mindless, since the amulet is also crushing your neck.
