 You're fighting an Evil Olive

Man, I think the olives have gone bad. Especially this one.

Hit Message(s):

It squirts pimento juice in your eye. OW! Ugh! Ooh!

It bites you with tiny olive-y teeth. It hurts more than you'd expect. Ouch! Ooh!

It spits an olive seed at you. It bounces off your cornea, which hurts a little. Ow! Ooh!

Critical Hit Message:

It summons a mountain of olives, which avalanche down on you. You feel like you've been run over by several other reindeer. Ouch! Ooh! Ooh!

Miss Message(s):

It squirts pimento juice at your eyes, but you blink fast.

It tries to bite you with tiny olive-y teeth, but backs off when it sees your martini tattoo.

It spits an olive seed at you, but can't spit hard enough to make it hurt.

Fumble Message:

It summons a mountain of olives to bury you, but you eat your way out. You like olives. (FUMBLE!)

Notes

• There was a rumor that the Evil Olive cannot hit you if you have the martini tattoo, but this has been disproven.
• The failed attack text "It tries to bite you...but backs off when it sees your martini tattoo" can still occur even when you haven't yet unlocked the martini tattoo.

History

References

• The fumble message text "It summons a mountain of olives to bury you, but you eat your way out. You like olives." is a reference to a song by Dan Bern called "Jerusalem". The verse is as follows: "I spent ten whole days in Jerusalem/Mmmm Jerusalem sweet Jerusalem/And all I ate was olives/Nothing but olives/Mountains of olives/It was a good ten days/I like olives/I like you too."
• The critical hit message is a reference to the children's book or the TV version of "Olive, the Other Reindeer", which is based on a mondegreen for the Christmas carol "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (where "all of the other reindeer" is misheard as "Olive, the other reindeer").
