Several '''grabbing attacks''' exist in [[NetHack]]; all of them share the property of rendering the player unable to move (''You cannot escape from the [[foo]]!'').

* The most common is also confusingly referred to as a '''grabbing attack''', most famously possessed by [[owlbear]]s.  This is reflected by the messages ''[[foo]] grabs you!'' and ''You are being crushed.'' (or ''You are being choked.'' in the case of [[rope golem]]s).  Apart from the inability to move (and extra damage from being crushed) there are no additional ill effects.
 
* Some monsters are classified as '''sticky''', which is effectively a silent grabbing attack if they hit you. The [[large mimic|large]] and [[giant mimic]]s are the best illustration of this, and have the additional property of sticking if you stumble upon them while they are mimicking an object.
 
* Arguably the worst is the '''[[drowning]] attack''', a two-move [[instadeath]] possessed by [[eel]]s and some other creatures.
