Archaea are like a worse kind of bacteria, or if you ask them, a much better kind of bacteria. Despite their lack of shoulders, they really manage to have a chip on their shoulder about that whole comparison.

Hit Message(s):

One of the little nodules ruptures, filling the immediate area with sticky slime. Given that the whole area is sticky slime, you can imagine how gross this new slime is for me to have mentioned it. Ooh! Eek! Ugh! (sleaze damage)

It reproduces by budding, which pokes you in the eye, because it was really close to your eye when it did that. Argh! Ooh! Argh!

It smacks you with one of its little nodules, or maybe one of its individual archaea. You're not sure how it works, but you're sure it hurts. And also that it stinks, weirdly. Ouch! Eek! Argh! (stench damage)

Critical Hit Message:

It smacks you with one of its little nodules, or maybe one of its individual archaea. You're not sure how it works, but you're sure it hurts. And also that it stinks, weirdly. (CRITICAL HIT!) Oof! Eek! Eek!

Miss Message(s):

One of the litlte[sic] nodules ruptures, but the resulting horrible goo is swept away by an ambient stew current. That reminds you -- you should pick up some currant stew and Ambien on the way home.

It reproduces by budding, which makes it grow four additional little nodules. Then four of the other nodules wither and fall off, so the whole process is net zero in terms of meaningful combat action.

Fumble Message:

It tries to infect your <skull>, but is once again stymied by the fact that it isn't a bacteria. It gets so mad about this. (FUMBLE!)


After Combat
