Swamp nymphs are the most powerful type of nymph in dNetHack.

Swamp nymphs cast spells in addition to stealing items. If one steals your source of magic resistance, you could be in for a world of hurt.

Swamp nymphs have the additional trait of sometimes "collapsing into a noxious fluid" when badly wounded by an attack. If this happens, the swamp nymph dies immediately, but if you made the attack in melee, you become deathly ill.

As a forest pathogen, a fungus can be very destructive.
Its high destructiveness comes from the fact that, unlike
most parasites, it doesn't need to moderate its growth in
order to avoid killing its host, since it will continue to
thrive on the dead material.
