| − | 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. The side effect of being sticky is that you cannot attack any other target except the sticky monster, and if you attempt to do so, you get the message ''"You cannot escape the <monster>."'' You waste that turn, effectively wasting the next turn (at least) while you attempt to dispose of the sticky monster.

| − | * Arguably the worst is the '''[[drowning]] attack''', a two-move [[instadeath]] possessed by [[eel]]s and some other creatures.
