Spectral Jellyfish

From A KoL Wiki
Spectral Jellyfish You're fighting a Spectral Jellyfish

This is the enslaved spirit of a jellyfish that didn't quite make it to Jellyfish Heaven (where jellyfish go, to get away from Mormons and drunk Eskimos.)

Hit Message(s):

It batters you with its spectral tentacles. Tingly. Eek! Eek! Argh!

It stings you with its many spectral tentacles, which sort of thrills you. You've got serious thrill issues, dude. Ugh! Ooh! Ouch!

It covers you in thick, choking smog. It's a lot like L.A. Ugh! Ow! Ooh!

Critical Hit Message:

It summons an army of spectral jellyfish, who sting you with their multifarious tentacles. At least they're not marmaladefish, though, so there's no hard bits of rind to add to the pain. Ugh! Ugh! Argh! Argh!

Miss Message(s):

It hovers before you, waving its spooky spectral tentacles. Which is impressive and all, but not effective.

It tries to sting you with its spectral tentacles, but they just pass through you. Which is sort of icky, but not painful.

It swims towards you, then realizes there's no water in the room and falls to the ground.

Fumble Message:

It summons an army of spectral jellyfish, but you dodge each and every one. You so totally rock, Squirt! (FUMBLE!)


After Combat
You gain 17-18 <substat>.

Occurs at Cobb's Knob Menagerie, Level 3.

References

  • This adventure's description and the "thick, choking smog" attack message refer to a verse of the song Jellyfish Heaven, by the Dead Milkmen, "Jellyfish heaven / Where jellyfish go / To get away from Mormons / And drunk Eskimos / Jellyfish heaven / Is a lot / Like LA".
  • The attack message is a reference to the film Finding Nemo, in which the sea turtle Crush exclaims "Takin' on the jellies! You've got serious thrill issues, dude," to the clown fish Marlin (who has just barely survived an encounter with a swarm of jellyfish in the previous scene)
  • The "You so totally rock, Squirt!" fumble message is also a reference to Finding Nemo.
