 You're fighting a Goth Giant

This giant is dressed in only three colors: black, the color of his soul; white, the color of bone; and red, the color of sweet, sweet blood. Oh, and pink, the color of acne that comes from caking on white makeup all the time.

Hit Message(s):

The pain in his soul is only equal to the pain in your <ankle> after he kicks it. Argh! Ow! Argh! Oof! Ugh! Argh!

The dark rain of depression weighs him down -- almost as much as the smack weighs you down when he lays it on you. Ugh! Ow! Oof! Eek! Ouch! Ooh!

The miasma of his rainy soul compels him to stomp you into the pavement. Argh! Eek! Eek! Ouch! Argh!

He pops a pimple and buries you under a mountain of pus. Ewww. Eek! Argh! Ouch! Oof! (sleaze damage)

Critical Hit Message:

He starts to dance a mopey, shuffle-footed dance, singing about how love will tear him apart. You're not sure how he would know, but that doesn't matter when he shuffles his feet right over you. Ow! Ooh! Argh! Ooh!

Miss Message(s):

The pain in his soul is too great for him to even contemplate hitting you.

The pain of depression weighs him down too much for him to contemplate hitting you.

The miasma of his rainy soul impedes his desire to hit you.

He pops a pimple, but you dodge the geyser of pus.

Fumble Message:

He grabs a nearby bottle of pills and swallows all of them, determined to end the pain inside of him by taking his life. He drops the bottle, then runs away. You read the label: "Super-powered Chocolate-flavored Laxative." (FUMBLE!)

Notes

• There exists a stuffed version of this monster.
• The drop rates of the awful poetry journal and the warm subject gift certificate were lowered as part of the level 10 quest revamp

References

• "Love will tear him apart" is a direct reference to the song Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division, a post-punk band popular among the Goth crowd.
• His fumble message is a reference to an episode of The Young Ones, a British television show in which Rik, a poetry-writing sociology major, unsuccessfully tries to kill himself by downing a bottle of pills without realizing the pills are laxatives.
