A giant eel is a very annoying water monster, fabled for its two-move drowning attack. "The giant eel swings itself around you!"

Escaping drowning

If a giant eel wants you dead, you usually have only one turn to tell it otherwise. On this turn, you can:

  • Prayer can get you out of trouble.
  • Engrave Elbereth if you are on land, obviously, not on water.
  • Try to kill the eel in one turn, or put it to sleep - this is risky
  • Teleport it away
  • Freeze the water
  • Wear an amulet of magical breathing
