You're fighting a Mesmerizing PenguinThis penguin is one of the Don's elite team of behavior control experts. When threats of violence, or actual violence, aren't enough to change somebody's mind, this penguin picks up the slack. Whether it's making someone cluck like a chicken, believe they're an ottoman, or just helping people quit smoking, this penguin's got the skills to make it happen. You are getting very sleepy . . .
Hit Message(s):
He hypnotizes you into kicking yourself in the shins. Ouch! Ugh! Oof! Eek! Argh!
He hypnotizes you into losing weight. By cutting off your <thigh>. Oof! Oof! Oof! Oof!
He hypnotizes you into punching yourself in the face. Oof! Ouch! Eek! Ow!
He hypnotizes you into thinking you're an ottoman. You trip over yourself. Ouch! Ooh! Oof! Argh! Eek!
He chants, "you are getting sleepy . . . very, very sleepy . . ." you black out for a minute, and wake up on your back on the concrete, your head throbbing. If sleep hurts this bad, you'd better start wearing a viking helmet to bed. Eek! Ugh! Ouch! Eek! Oof! Eek! Oof!
He hypnotizes you into clucking like a chicken. Embarrassing, but not painful.
He swings a pocket watch in front of you. You point out it's two days slow.
He tries to hypnotize you into believing you're an ottoman, but lacks the empirical skill for ottoman hypnosis.
He spins a spiraling shape in front of you, but it fails to make you go insane.
You point out that, despite what popular culture would have one believe, you can't really hypnotize someone against their will. It requires as much concentration on the patient as it does on the practitioner. He's forced to concede the point. (FUMBLE!)

- The miss message about lacking the "empirical" skill for ottoman hypnosis is a pun on the Ottoman Empire.
