icon Pushing Young Halph into shallow water shows him wading (+1)  
Under default conditions, a Young Halph monster placed into the room cannot move onto shallow water, and treats it as an obstacle. If the player pushes the Young Halph into shallow water, he dies, his sound clip plays, and the room restarts. This is all normal.

When the Young Halph is pushed into shallow water, however, it displays him as wading in that tile as he dies, which is a bit misleading since Young Halphs don't move across shallow water. I propose that he instead drown, with the same "submerged splash" effect that other non-wading monsters like roaches or goblins get when they drown in shallow water.

Might be worth clarifying: Are you talking about Halph or Young Halph?

Because Young Halph treats shallow water as an obstacle but Halph doesn't and can traverse it just fine.

I'm talking about Young Halph; let me edit things appropriately.

Took a poke at this to get my hands dirty in the DROD codebase.

Can confirm in 5.1.1.alpha.2020-10-16 that Young Halph does not showing as wading during his death animation when brutally murdered by being shoved into shallow water.
