An invisible abyss. Every floor tile can become an abyss with this item. Stones like st-wood can't fill an it-abyss. It is still possible to jump over this abyss using a spring.

When you roll over an item with the bag as the first item in your inventory, the item is put into the bag. A bag can be filled with up to 13 items. When the bag is deposited, the inventory is filled with the bag's content. When there are more items in the bag than there is space in your inventory, some items remain in the bag.

When thieves (fl-thief or fl-thief) are captured by a horse (st-chess), the thief leaves behind a bag with stolen items.
