You're fighting Safari Jack, Small-Game Hunter"One-two! One-two! Hut! Hut!"
There appears to be a very small, very strange parade marching toward you. It consists of a line of Knob Goblins carrying boxes and trunks on their heads, being led by a large man with a giant walrus mustache (er, a big hairy mustache like walruses have, not, thankfully, a mustache made of walrus hide). His white safari outfit and pith helmet shine spotlessly in the sun and, as the party marches closer, you note that his cufflinks are taxidermic mouse heads, and his ascot appears to be spotted chipmunk hide.
"Company, halt!" The man stops in front of you and raises one hand. The goblins stop marching -- the ones in the back bump comically into the ones in front, naturally. The man adjusts his monocle and peers at you.
"I say, you wouldn't happen to be [playername], would you?"
"Er... yes, that's right. And you are...?"
"I am known as... Safari Jack!" He puffs out his chest dramatically.
"...Hello."
There is an awkward pause, and he looks mildly affronted. "Is it possible that you've never heard of me? The great small-game hunter, known across the continent -- nay, across the world -- for my many feats of daring, hunting and tracking the fiercest of tiny things?"
"Can't say I have, no."
"Harrumph! Well, no matter. My old friend Stella has called in a favor, and although you're rather larger than my usual prey, I dare say I shall enjoy this none the less!" He opens the lid of one of the trunks, and pulls out a large musket. "Now, do attempt to die in an entertaining fashion, won't you? There's a good [chap/lass]."
Hit Message(s):
He whips you with a rat o' nine tails. It stings a little bit. Ugh! Eek! Argh!
He showers you with rat poison. You dodge the deadly cloud by running into a tree. Go, you! Eek! Argh! Ugh!
Aw, how sweet -- he just gave you some tasty cheese on a little metal-and-wood plate! You reach right in and grab it -- ow! Ugh! Ugh! Eek!
He sets up an elaborate mousetrap. The little silver ball doesn't make the net lower onto your head, but the ball does smack into your shin. Argh! Ow! Argh!
He hits you with a shrew-tooth flail. It's like getting a bunch of papercuts all at once. Argh! Eek! Ooh!
You fall into a tiny tiger pit. Well, your foot does, anyway. The tiny punji sticks at the bottom hurt a little. Ugh! Ugh! Oof!
He shoots you with his musket, which is full of mouseshot. You get dozens of extremely tiny, stinging wounds. Oof! Ouch! Ugh!
He tries to whip you with a rat o' nine tails, but it's not so effective.
He showers you with rat poison, but you're not a rat.
He throws a mousetrap at you, but you ignore the tasty cheese inside of it. Just barely.
He sets up an elaborate mousetrap, which fails to work. The little guy just never, ever catapults into the net the way he's supposed to.
He tries to hit you with a shrew-tooth flail, but you're not shrew tooth compatible.
Your foot falls into a tiny tiger pit. The tiny punji sticks feel like a refreshing reflexology session.
He shoots you with his musket. Thankfully, it's full of mouseshot, so it's like having someone half-heartedly throw gravel at you. (FUMBLE!)

Notes
- This monster is a boss and cannot be copied or insta-killed by normal means. Bosses are also immune to many other mechanics.
- Appears to occur at any adventure.php location, and will only occur after you defeat your nemesis in the Dark and Dank Sinsister Cave, and if you have reached at least 90 Muscle.
- This monster may be encountered while falling-down drunk.
- After this enemy is encountered and defeated, the following text appears under Guild Quests:
- Me and My Nemesis
- Now that you've dealt with your Nemesis' assassins and found a map to the secret tropical island volcano lair, it's time to take the fight to your foe. Booyah.
- Or, if you encountered this enemy and fled or got beaten up:
- Me and My Nemesis
- You had a run-in with some crazy mercenary or assassin or... thing that your Nemesis sent to do you in once and for all. A run-in followed by a run-out, evidently, but you're going to have to deal with this sooner or later.
