RE: Missing: Fancy Man
In the darkness of the mineshaft, you almost don't notice the coal snake you just stepped on. It sure noticed you, though, if the fire it's currently belching at you is any indication. Hey, at least it provides some light!
RE: Madness at the Mine
Coal snakes are the worst kind of snakes to have in your mine, because they tend to be pitch-black in color, just like everywhere in a mine. Come on snake, what are you doing? This isn't even a coal mine!
