You're fighting a funk particleWhile you were fighting Professor Jacking, you thought you caught a whiff of his unadulterated funk. Now that you're teeny-tiny, a whiff of that funk has caught you! This is an oversized globule of the Professor's skanky stank, and it doesn't look happy to see you. It's going to do whatever a particle can to take you down.
Hit Message(s):
It doesn't fake the funk, unfortunately, and the odor knocks you back a few steps. Ooh! Ooh! Ouch! Ooh! Ow! (stench damage)
It plays a funky beat on your <ankle>. Ouch! Ugh! Oof! Eek! Oof!
It lays the funk down on you. Man, you'll never get that smell out of your clothes. Oof! Ooh! Eek! Ow! Ugh! Argh! (stench damage)
It dunks you in funky gunk, you hunk. Ooh! Eek! Ow! (stench damage)
It lays down the funk on you so hard that you have to look up new words in your Funk & Wagnall's [sic] to describe the stench. Ow! Ow! Ouch! (stench damage)
It tries to play some funky music, but isn't a white boy.
It fakes the funk, fortunately.
It tries to lay the funk on you, but you're a renegade of funk.
It tries to dunk you in funk, but you avoid that gunk.
It suddenly loses the beat, and becomes tragically unfunky for a few minutes. (FUMBLE!)
