Breathlessness is a property in NetHack that makes a monster amphibious, allowing them to travel underwater.
The only item that grants the property is the amulet of magical breathing - various monsters also have the property intrinsically, which is governed by breathless(ptr)
in the code.[1]
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 - water squares become "safe" for purposes of teleportation. You are also protected from the effects of sleeping gas traps and the engulfing attacks of fog clouds;[2] poison clouds will not damage you regardless of poison resistance and are not a major trouble for prayer, though they can still blind you.[3][4] Protection from sleeping gas and poison clouds also applies to breathless monsters.[5][6][7]
You cannot choke from eating too much food while breathless: you will always "vomit voluminously" instead and lose 1000 nutrition, though you still abuse constitution.[8] Breathlessness protects from the effect of eating an amulet of strangulation, but does not protect from a worn amulet of strangulation unless the player is also mindless, since the amulet is also crushing your neck.
The 1000 experience point-bonus for killing sea monsters with drowning attacks does not apply while you are amphibious, including from breathlessness.[9]
