This praying mantis is so devout, it's... well, it's pretty disturbing, to be honest with you.

Hit Message(s):

You accidentally stumble into a cloud of whips and beatings, and take %dmg damage. Ugh! Ow! Eek! Eek!

The mantis whales on you with its whips, for %dmg damage. I never said it was exclusively self-flagellating. Ugh! Ouch! Oof! Argh!

Critical Hit Message:

The mantis delivers a masterful bank shot that deflects off of its back and hits you right in the <nipple>. You take %dmg damage. (CRITICAL HIT!) Ouch! Ouch! Ugh! Ouch!

Miss Message(s):

The mantis seems to want to wale on you with its whips, but it's super unclear whether "wale on" or "whale on" is the correct version, etymologically speaking. It definitely isn't "wail on", though.

The mantis's whips are of a finite length, and you are standing outside of that range.

Fumble Message:

The mantis gets its whips tangled up in all its arms and legs and so on. (FUMBLE!)
