 You're fighting a slithering thing

This is an armored carapace atop a raw, slimy mass of muscle and sucker. It appears to be blind, but moves with alarming speed and purpose, seeking out prey to embrace and devour. It stops, senses you, and moves toward you, twitching and jerking unnaturally.

Hit Message(s):

It smacks you with its muscled body. Argh! Eek! Ow! Ouch! Argh! Eek! Ouch! Ugh!

It rams its carapace into your face. Ugh! Ow! Eek! Ow! Ooh! Oof! Ouch! Ouch!

It wraps its slimy body around your neck and squeezes. Ouch! Eek! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Eek! Oof!

It oozes disgusting slime on you. (sleaze damage) Argh! Ooh! Ouch! Ugh! Ouch! Eek! Eek! Ooh!

Critical Hit Message:

Its blind twitching finally pays off when it manages to wedge its slimy body into your mouth. You try to scream, but you're underwater, and it takes a while to pry the thing off of your face. Gah. Ugh! Ooh! Eek! Oof! Ow! Ouch! Ouch! Ooh!

Miss Message(s):

It tries to smack you with its muscled body, but fails.

It tries to ram you with its carapace, but you step a few paces away.

It tries to wrap its slimy body around you, but you're not having that on the first date.

It tries to ooze slime on you, but you narrowly avoid being slimed.

Fumble Message:

You stay perfectly still, and it loses its sense of where you are for a moment. (FUMBLE!)
