* A [[player]] or swimming [[creature|animal]] will automatically begin to swim upon entering a [[water tile]] to a sufficient depth.
* When swimming, [[stamina]] is gradually lost with any and all movement, and [[drowning]] will occur when stamina has become exhausted. At this point, players may draw deep from within and try to use [[Last Gasp]] to reach safety, or they can immediately consume a stamina-generating food of some sort. Without some relief, further attempts at movement only then speed along a sure drowning death.
* Not all animals are capable of swimming, and not all swimming animals are capable of being embarked upon and subsequently ridden through water.
