 You're fighting an Axis grenadier skeleton

You hear a loud rattle. A short distance away, a skeleton with a bandolier full of grenades and also a grenade in each hand is gesturing at you threateningly with its grenades. I guess this is what they call a grenadier, because it's certainly grenadier than any of the other skeletons you've seen.

Hit Message(s):

Instead of a grenade, the skeleton pulls out a gun and just shoots you with it! Are they even allowed to do that? Ugh! Ooh! Ouch! Ouch! Eek! Eek! Ow! Argh! Ow! Ugh!

The skeleton hurls a potato masher at you. Not the kind of grenade that's called that, I mean an actual potato masher. It hits you in the head though so like, it still hurts. Argh! Ouch! Ugh! Argh! Ooh! Argh! Oof! Eek! Ouch! Argh!

The skeleton tosses you a grenade -- nice catch! Oh, wait Ugh! Ooh! Ugh! Ouch! Ooh! Ugh! Argh! Argh! Argh! Ouch!

Critical Hit Message:

The skeleton throws a grenade at you, then whips out a pistol and shoots the grenade in mid-air, causing you to take extra damage from badass. (CRITICAL HIT!) Eek! Ooh! Ouch! Ow! Ow! Eek! Ooh! Oof! Ouch! Ow!

Miss Message(s):

The skeleton hucks a grenade at you, but it's just filled with confetti. Must've grabbed it out of a crate of party supplies by mistake.

The skeleton throws something at you. Naturally you were expecting a grenade, but it turns out to be a pineapple instead.

The skeleton tries to throw a grenade at you, but forgot to pull the pin. Or throw the grenade.

Fumble Message:

The skeleton takes a minute to pre-pull the pins on their grenades, to save time later. (FUMBLE!)

Notes

• At start of fight, lose 1/3 of your maximum HP:

The skeleton pulls out a grenade, pulls out the pin, and the pulls off an excellent throw as the grenade lands at your feet and explodes.

• This damage can be avoided by equipping a flak shield:

The skeleton tosses a live grenade at you, but it deflects off your flak shield and explodes loudly but harmlessly a little distance away.

• This monster cannot be copied.
• The confetti grenade is affected by Item Drop bonuses and Yellow Ray mechanics. It has a 1% base drop rate with a ~90% rejection chance.
  • Using a Yellow Ray will cap the base rate, causing the grenade to have a ~10% chance to drop that fight.
• The Axis Skeleton Ribs Puzzle makes this monster's name and image special:
  • Each soldier has a regiment number appended to its name, between 111 and 3102.
    • e.g. Axis grenadier skeleton, 2269th regiment
  • Each regiment's member's ribs are arranged in the shape of a specific braille letter.
• Monster has the following resistances: 50% cold, 90% hot, 90% stench, 50% spooky, 50% sleaze, 25% phys
