Is it possible for NPCs to drown?

[Rygar]

I did come across a newsgroup article or two talking about how some mobs would suicide. In classic if they did, then the mob would just poof (no corpse).

They mentioned that aviaks supposedly could down but other npcs didn't.

Lots of urban legends, could have been some coding fail safes that were built in to prevent exploits but activated under weird pathing conditions.

Perhaps the same thing happened to you? (Npc suicide)

FYI I just stumbled across this from June of 2001. Thread is about a major guild called Conquest that got banned for exploiting a mob (according to GMs) in Sleepers Tomb, when GM showed up about people were angry they were getting banned for what they felt was an unclear exploit, someone in guild chat said this:

[Tue Jun 05 01:24:54 2001] Caylen tells the guild, 'I wonder if triton
got warnings for drowning yelinak'

So maybe some mobs could drown but it was exploit territory
