In NetHack, breathlessness is a property that allows you or other monsters to travel underwater, making them amphibious.[1]

Breathlessness protects from sleeping gas traps[2][3][4] and stinking clouds.[5][6] It does not protect from a worn amulet of strangulation unless the player is also mindless, instead displaying different messages indicating a lack of blood flow to the brain. Breathless players cannot choke on food, but will instead "vomit voluminously" and lose 1000 nutrition.[7]

Breathlessness is only granted by eating or wearing an amulet of magical breathing, but is possessed naturally by many monsters.
