Spectre of war

From A KoL Wiki
spectre of war You're fighting a spectre of war

War is Hell, and Hell is other people -- specifically the ones you fight against in wars. This thing either is, or is an echo of, or represents, somehow, the horrors of battle.

Plus it looks like a spooky skull ghost thing, which is scary even if you don't think about the war part.

Hit Message(s):

A haunting memory of your time in the trenches suddenly grips you. Actually, wait, it was the horrible skeletal ghost hand of this monster gripping you. Very similar overall effect, though. Ugh! Ouch! Ooh! Oof! Ugh! (spooky damage)

The skull-like face of your skull-faced opponent stares into your soul. Maybe the true enemy is war itself. Have you ever thought of that? Ouch! Ugh! Ow! (spooky damage)

A mortar shell lands, blasting apart the gravestones of your fallen comrades. You are blasted with shrapnel and regret. Argh! Ooh! Argh! (spooky damage)

You're pinned down. Half of your friends are dead. An errant grenade goes off, blowing your <eye> to bits. Ouch! Oof! Ooh!

Critical Hit Message:

You're pinned down. Half of your friends are dead. An errant grenade goes off, blowing your <eye> to bits. (CRITICAL HIT!) Ow! Oof! Ugh! Ugh! Ooh!
