giant isopod You're fighting a giant isopod

Isopods are crustaceans, just like delicious crabs and lobsters, but they really amp up the "nightmare horror sea bug" quota. It's a bundle of legs, claws, and shell.

Don't let it frighten you, though; freshwater isopods like this are scavengers, which means they only eat dead flesh.

Well...okay, so isopods aren't all that bright, either, and this one seems convinced you're made of dead flesh.

Hit Message(s):

It bites you with its tiny jaws. They're big enough to leave a mark. Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

It crawls on you with its little pointy legs. Ugh. Oof! Argh! Eek!

It pinches your <arse> with its little pincers. I mean, that's what they're for. It's right there in the name. Ugh! Ouch! Ugh!

It pinches you with its front claws. They're definitely claws for alarm. Ooh! Ouch! Ow!

It rolls up into a ball and bounces off your <arse>. Ow! Ugh! Ooh!

It smacks you with its armored tail. Eek! Argh! Ugh!

Critical Hit Message:

It crawls all over you with its tiny creepy legs, pinching you with its little claws, until you've got blood-blisters and a severe case of the heebie-jeebies. (CRITICAL HIT!) Argh!

Miss Message(s):

It tries to crawl on you, but you brush it away.

It tries to pinch you with its pincers, but you ask it not to.

It tries to pinch you with its front claws, but you point out it doesn't have just claws to do so.

It tries to roll up into a ball, but it's a little too pudgy to pull it off.

It tries to smack you with its armored tail, but you high-tail it out of there.

Fumble Message:

You point out that it's nothing more than a common louse with delusions of grandeur, and it has to ponder its place in the universe for a few minutes. (FUMBLE!)
