An energy vortex:
| |
| Reference | monst.c#line960 |
The energy vortex is very dangerous monster to encounter if one lacks shock resistance. In addition to its shock attacks, it also has a special drain energy ability, which drains the power of the player. The drain energy ability can be protected against with high magic cancellation, but the other attacks cannot.
Note that the passive attack is only triggered by melee attacks - ranged attacks, even when engulfed, are perfectly fine.

Encyclopedia entry
Swirling clouds of pure elemental energies, the vortices are
thought to be related to the larger elementals. Though the
vortices do no damage when touched, they are noted for being
able to envelop unwary travellers. The hapless fool thus
swallowed by a vortex will soon perish from exposure to the
element the vortex is composed of.
